Will you marry me?

So tonight the gf and I went to a Serenity screening featuring Tim Minear. There was a QA before the movie, where they had all the attendees write down a question for Tim to answer. I ended up asking a question, and then put a P.S asking Tim propose to my gf for me. The cool thing was that the night before we had gone to a bar and we ended up talking to the guy for a while, so he remembered me, and more especifically, he remembered my gf. He ended up asking my gf, she said yes, and the whole place clapped for us.
It was pretty cool. Except I was just joking(my gf knew this btw). But it did got me thinking that I probably wasted the best proposal I'm going to get to do. And also wondering how others have proposed to their significant others.

Wait, what?
Who'd want to marry a Serenity fan anyways? :P
Kidding aside I love that video where the guy proposes at the basketball game, you know the one.
Where she says no and runs out crying because of the public humiliation?
:winky:

Heh, I know. She's meh about firefly(big big fan of Whedon and Buffy though) but I fucking love Firefly and Minear, so to hear him say how that he was happy we were getting together because we were awesome people that would probably have awesome kids was really cool.
Nonetheless, I thought it was funny. Also, I learned that just because you propose in public doesn't mean you'll get your meal comp.
Of course.
Awesome.
My cousin is a wedding planner and she has told me some really crazy proposals. Some real sitcom stuff like the girl choking on the ring in the wine glass, proposing at a concert in the front row during the act with the guy having to say his little speech like fifty times and other wacky stuff.
One cilent of hers was even proposed to twice in the same week.
That ones going to be rather hard to top if she is a Firefly fan, and was not just coming along to spend time with you. If she is a Firefly fan perhaps you might want to consider hinting to her that you might not have been completely joking. If shes the one, go for it, otherwise do not sweat it.
Because that proposal is pretty awesome.
More creative than, "Hey we're going to dinner tonight at a real special restaurant for no reason and I have this ominous habit of checking my pocket as if to make sure something is still there and why are you getting flustered when I'm going down to one knee?"
Naked, people. It's the way to go.

Atop the Eiffel Tower or equivalent.
And naked, apparently.
I like that idea, the symbolism is just too good.
Especially if you forgot your chute.
Should I ask where the ring was when you actually proposed?
creative != not-awful.
I actually read that as "Naked people; it's the way to go."
A friend of mine went to Niagara Falls with his then girlfriend for dinner and that special light show they have. The dinner was nice and cool and then afterwards the two of them grabbed good spots to take in the light show. My friend waited right until the show started and he went down on one knee... to tie his shoes. His girlfriend started scolding him for having such bad timing cuz it's just starting and we drove all the way here and now I'm missing the show because I'm too busy talking to you and OMG YES I'LL MARRY YOU!
He said he specifically waited until she started getting on his case about his timing and then pulled out the ring. Happy tears for all, yay!
Awful.
Different strokes for different folks. What matters is if she enjoys the method of proposal.

Oh Jesus you're in Tyler? You poor poor man.
While that is sick and not really that funny it does remind me of one I've heard of.
A guy snuck into the girl's apartment while she was out of town and wrote "Will you Marry Me?" on the ceiling in some sort of glow in the dark ink or paint or some such, knowing that the next time she'd be using that bed would be during post work trip sex.
Worked beautifully.
I like the collegehumor one where the one guy sets up a fake proposal at a baseball game for the guy he's pranking and his gf. The woman gets all excited and says yes but the dude's like 'wtf um that's not me' she gets pissed slaps him and runs off.
Yes it's cruel but I still laughed at it.
Terrible. I could never associate myself in any manner with someone who did that.
On the black screen
Man, I had to work so hard to throw her off... W'd been doing weekends away to Europe for a bit, and she's always wanted to do Paris, but I've been a few times. So when she asked again I had to be all like "OK, sounds good - can you book it?" I then called my mother who was flying over for a trip about a month prior and asked her to bring my grandmother's ring. I spent then next month pretending I wasn't that interested and even faked a whole "oh shit, it was THAT weekend? Man, I have to cancel that trip to see a mate out of town". I then had to endure the whole "why cant you remember whenever we make plans" argument.
In Paris, we visited the Eiffel tower and then crossed the Siene. I spotted a secluded spot down by the river and told her we should go take some photos. It was perfect, we could see the tower, the siene was beautiful - and there was literally nobody down there. I figured I wasn't going to get a better opportunity. We took a few pics, then I said "sit there, I want to take one of you".
The look on her face was classic when I dropped to one knee. I had a few things I wanted to say... She said yes, then burst into tears. Then continued to burst into tears for about the next 5 hours at random times. We did a river cruise after that - apparently she she still cant remember any of it.
It was a very good day.
She still gets a lot of jokes made, because she had no idea it was coming - despite the location.
