Ways of Proposing To Someone Special Part 1
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I always feel very very touched, when i see someone going through pains just to think of something special.. just to propose to the one he loved.
Like.. witnessing mambo king proposing to his gf in the middle of zouk.
Like.. reading on the newspaper about how one guy actually booked one of the cinema advertisment slots and wrote his proposed msg on it and screen it up, catching his gf by surprise when she thought it was just a normal movie day out. (this happen years ago and i still remember it)
I thought about it and asked myself, if one day i become a man, how would i propose to the one i loved?
I dun wanna be like the Prudential advertisement where.. one day.. the man.. was having dinner at a hawker centre with his gf.. bought the noodles.. shifted very near to the gf.. and whisper.. "u wanna go get a flat together with me?" AKA "Would you marry me?"
So i came up with a few ways.. and i thought it would be nice to share it with you all. =) Just imagine yourself being the gf. Would you say yes?
1) Lets start with .. something that doesnt cost that much but alot of efforts needed. Get alot of candles. Alot. and something that could cover the candles from being blown off by the wind. From her doorstep... While she's at home, step by step, to one of the stairs that has a bigger space. At each floor, Write a word.. starting from.. "I Love You" at one, the next step with, "will You Marry me?" and the next step.. to a bouquet of flowers.. to the next one which is where u are. (u can write whatever you wan if you have the time to go step by step..) Call her and find an excuse to get her out of the house. and from there.. =)
2) How about liaising with her good friends? tell one of her best friends, to get her out of the house.. to head down to the river at Boat Quay. Saying that she's having some r/s probs and would need someone to accompany her. While u on the other hand, prepare a big big banner with your proposal on it.. Try and get onto the boat that travels along the river. I think they will be willing to do so.. if u are sincere enough. (might needa pay a little more.) and the rest... is up to you. whether u being on the boat, or u not on the boat.. wait for the boat to pass by and u on the other hand was somewhere near.. with a bouquet of flowers and the ring.. etc. =)
3) Remember the first time.. where you guys met? Who was around when you guys met? Get the same bunch of people back. or at least, at the place where you guys met, be it... chalet? Restaurant? Friends gathering at somewhere? Weddings(hotel)?.. For example.. if the first time happens at a... pub. Go back to the pub (unless it has closed down then maybe the first place u guys dated) talk to the boss, and arrange for a proposal to be done there. Definitely flowers is needed, but what about heart shapes balloons, with the msg written all over it? it would be nice.. i think. When someone pop out with the balloons and you knee down to propose to her. =D
4) Feel that it is important and that you should spend some money to make it worthwhile? How about .. whats that call.. erm.. the video wall the one that will show the thrillers of movies on it over at Lido? i think heeren also have. Yeah.. Do the proposal msg over there. Then Make sure your timing and their timing are of the same. Get your girl, to go down there. and propose to her when the msg pop up. =) I dun have to give u details how to make it a surprise right? it would be too lengthy for me.

5) Or maybe.... you could arrange for a mini gathering with her friends and your friends.. at a hotel lounge.. at mount faber.. at damsey.. at Keppel.. at timber.. Anywhere with nice and romantic ambiance. Any normal day out.. (make it as normal as possible) Again u needa arrange with the management there. First, deliver her with a slice of cake with "i love you" out of nowhere. Then, arrange for flowers to be delivered.. and lastly.. a plate covered up with the ring inside. =) And the next moment, the live band, if there's one, to sing "a whole new world" or.. "now and forever" or any songs..... to make the atmosphere right. =)
... More to come when i have more time to think.. stay tuned!
