Blake's proposal was super adorable and sweet and A+ would engage again if you'd like to borrow it!
I didn't stop to think about whether it was original or not because I really just liked that he did it in a way that was meaningful and super adorable and see above.
And not in public or in front of other people, cuz seriously, I would've HATED that and made sure he knew it.
Wait until she falls asleep, slip the ring on her finger, then go around changing every device with a calendar one year into the future. Convince her that you've been engaged for a year and even get family and friends in on it.
Then after awhile (couple days) reveal your ruse but reason that it felt right and let's make it official.
Cant beat the classic Time-Travelling Bride-to-be Proposal
Go to the zoo, propose during a quiet moment in front of her favourite animal.
Bake the ring into a cupcake. Eat it. Start to choke. When she gives you the Heimlich manoeuvre, produce the ring and say something about how she saved your life, and can now give it meaning by saying yes.
Tell her that you bought that camera from the Goosebumps book which predicts the future. Take a photo of her hand, show her a photo you took earlier of a hand with that ring on it. Then propose, and when she's said yes show her a picture of you looking happy.
Show her this thread, ask her which one she would prefer.

That's risky; there are some really good people on here. I certainly would not have wanted to give my wife any ideas.
As for proposals, I would do something simple. Go somewhere that's meaningful to you and ask her. People always want to have these great proposal stories but the important part is the "Yes."
The moments will happen naturally, like my then fiancé flipping the ring box closed.

Wait, the one where every picture was of something horrible happening? I'd recommend against that.

Put the ring on your dick.
And before you be all, "That's a bad idea Blake." let me remind you all that rainfall was going to propose to random people on the street.
I'm engaged! Everything went perfectly, I took her out to an awesome fondue place, proposed, she kept me on the hook for like a fucking minute while I freaked the hell out, then we grabbed a limo back home and WOO FUCKING SHIT YEAH.
I'm not great at commitments or keeping secrets so finding out it was a complete surprise and bringing myself to pop the question is a pretty huge personal victory.
Big thanks to this forum because we never would have got together without the sagacious advice of the New Years thread telling me to get my ass out the door and stop whining about my prior breakup.
Thanks Ahava, that awesome means a bunch coming from you.
We've had our differences. but they're super in the past. And it is an amazing thing to see you as happy as you are right now. I wish you nothing but the best and I have high hopes. Plus, I get to hear all about the wedding planning now, which is delightful! Super congratulations, Rainy.
Hers is gonna be platinum. I've got three options for mine: Titanium, Zirconium, and Cobalt/Chrome. I'm leaning away from the first, as even though it's the cheaper option, it just feels kind of generic for men's jewelry nowadays.
As for Zirconium, I'm seeing a lot of jewelry where it's basically a black metal? Which is interesting, just not sure if that's the case. Cobalt/Chrome tends to look more like a precious metal (because chrome). If zirconium is basically black metal then I'll probably go Cobalt/Chrome, but does anybody know if Zirconium comes in other colors?

Titanium is popular for a reason - it's durable, tough, and light, moreso than most other options that are more than thrice the price.
Zirconium isn't "black" so much as it is "dark", so when you polish it to high luster it looks practically black. There might be lighter colours of zirconium out there (maybe alloys?), but I suspect that by and large it's going to be darker by definition rather than by design.
Cobalt Chrome is heavier than titanium but it polishes to a brilliant shine that's much brighter than titanium.
So basically:
- titanium if you want an inexpensive and highly durable but not super shiny
- zirconium for super shiny but usually much darker
- cobalt chome for super shiny with slightly higher weight and cost than titanium
Meteorite only works as an inlay for wedding rings; the ring itself would still need to be made out of something else (to provide shape/structure/durability), otherwise the whole thing will fall apart pretty quickly.

one thing we found out about looking at titanium is that it can't be resized. so if you're thinking that your fingers may change drastically (weight loss/gain) then that might not be a good option. I'm not sure how the other 2 metals behave as far as resizing/reshaping
There's actually a bunch of meteorite out there, it turns out; one place uses this one and this one -- the Gibeon one sounds like there's plenty of it to go around (for rings, at least).
One thing I hadn't realised until just now is that because meteorites are iron-based, they're not as inert as gold/silver/titanium, so you can potentially mess it up if you get strong acid/alkali on there.
Yeah my understanding is that "meteorite" is just a fancy name for "iron/nickel/maybe some cobalt or something? oh and regular ol' rock." Because that's what most actual meteors are made of.
Me and wifey have meteorite inlaid wedding rings and they are the business. We got ours from this dude, how could you not want something made by a man with a moustache of such beauty. One thing of note is what lonelyahava brought up, once they're made they're made. So make sure you order the right size, unlike chump-face over here who has an ever so slightly loose wedding ring...

there's even a 30% chance there will be a braying donkey!
Sure to be a crowd pleaser
See, I assumed one of them would play the part of the baby Jesus.
Non-religious, not cannibalistic, jeez.
Take her out to a really romantic dinner.
Forget the ring at home.
Panic
Take her home, search frantically for the ring
Find it right as she walks in to see what you're doing
Panic more and throw the ring at her
People don't get married due to originality. People get married because they want to.

At a fondue place? I hope not!
Which is now clogging my keyboard and going up my cuffs
Still, a nice sentiment

have you considered Palladium?
