Labor Day is me and my girlfriends 2 year anniversary, and I'm about 99% sure that I'm going to propose.  I already have a ring ready and what-not, but here is the question I post to you guys...what would be a memorable way to do so.

A little background.  My girlfriend is an art student at the Cleveland Institute of Art, and I'm going to be up there for that weekend, so whatever I do should happen in Cleveland.  She's not a sports fan, so a sporting event it out of the question.  I'm just trying to brainstorm ideas on how to do what I need to.

Also...Hurricane, you are NOT to speak a word of this to anyone in our area, because half of our friends have big mouths, lol.

Don't get too cheesy, have a date where you get dressed up a little, and pick a place that is special to the two of you, or at least her. Give the proposal a small build up and then go. Neither of you will ever forget it.

Or just do what a buddy of mine did.

They're both sitting in the living room.  Her on the couch, him in a chair.  He reaches into his pocket, pulls out the box, tosses it to her, and says "Hey...you wanna?"

movie theater, rent out entire theater, get favorite film to be played in theater. Film Proposal to be played as trailer. Have friends/family be in audience behind all of you. Propose...rejoice, enjoy favorite film. Light off, so you can still get some action even with family close Wink

I'm of the school that a marriage proposal is a private, intimate thing to be shared by two.

1) Don't.
2) Figure out how to get her to agree to a pre-nup.
3) No really it's a bad idea.
4) If you're still intent on going through with it - it's your funeral.

What has she mentioned as her "dream" way of being proposed to?

I know my Partner has always felt that she'd rather not be publicly embarrassed. Remember if it's in public - you're eff'd if she says no.

I see you're of the same school of thought that my best friend is.  I'm thinking somewhere private, and it's going to have to be somewhat inexpensive, because of the whole unemployed college student stuff.  I dunno, we'll be right on Lake Erie, maybe I'll find something out that way that's interesting.

Exactly. Seriously, marriage is one of those things that should take longer than 2 years to decide on. Take it form someone who has been there and done that. Make sure you are dooing this for the right reasons, and not because its "the right thing to do". Afterall, there is plenty of ass left out there for you.

I'm assuming you have thought this through and have no doubt. I proposed to my wife after only 8 months. We have now been married 13 years and she is still the best friend that I can't live with out. She was willing to invest as much in the relationship as I was so it worked out very well. If you know, you know.

This.  Trust me, I'm done some serious soul searching the past few months,and I cannot possibly think of being with anyone else.  Period.

I'd suggest somewhere private as well. Similar to the wedding, planning anything outside is risky due to weather conditions and/or birds flying over head ruining things.

A friend of mine recently proposed in this manner. In the movie Super Troopers he spliced a recording of himself saying the "emotional" stuff, then said handed off the proposal to his 'live' counter part, where my friend then produced the ring etc. It was private and quite inventive, also allowed my friend to relax, as he didn't have to worry about how to say it/messing it up, since most of he had already said.
