Ideas for a wedding proposal.

If you've ever thought about proposing to your future wife I'm sure you thought about the best possible way to do it. In fact I'm sure your interested in finding out new and exciting ways to shock her if your reading this site. I'm a pilot so I'd like to do something with a flying machine (Airplane, helicopter, balloon, spaceship etc...) or at least something with an aerial view. Please post your proposal stories here or your thoughts on a good proposal story.

My Current ideas:

1. On top of the Rockefeller Center in NYC. We had an incredible time there and weren't expecting to have so much fun. We took a photo of us kissing and talked about that photo for months afterward. I think another photo of better quality will last a lifetime. I of course plan to try and get it on video. I want to be able to see it 20 years from now.

2. Have a limo pick her up. The driver would give her a new dress and tell her to get ready. She would be caught up in the surprise. The driver would drive her around for 30 mins or so and finally meet me at the perfect location to make my move! I haven't thought of where that location would be yet. I saw this on a TV show but it wasn't a proposal it was an anniversary.

3. Make an aerial banner for a banner towing airplane and go to dinner on the beach while the plane flew by.

4. Fly her to one of the Island of the Bahamas for a romantic weekend and propose on the beach. I did this one already and it didn't work so well so as romantic as it might be I'm not too sold on this idea.

What do you think? Do you have any over the top ideas? I'd like to hear them.

HER FATHER SAID YES!!

August 23rd-27th of 2007 I went to visit friends and family in Connecticut (CT) for a High School reunion but in reality I mostly wanted a perfect excuse to travel to CT without Laura and be able to spend some time with her father. Luckily I was able to do just that! I knew together we would visit her family over the holidays but I couldn't see any reason I'd be in New England without her until I heard about the reunion. I really wanted to bring her with me but since she only has a week vacation left this year of course we'd both prefer to go during the holidays.

Her father has given me the OK for his daughters hand in marriage. I'm so excited!!

My original plan was to fly to New York (NYC) and have my friend meet me and bring me to CT after I spent some time with her father. Due to time constraints and pricing, I decided to fly into Providence, RI (PVD) instead and ask her father a little closer to the actual proposal (Early 2008) and come up with some excuse to travel then. Plans change as we all know and on Thursday my friend asked me to go to NYC with him. It was completely random...

HELP... I can't keep a Secret!

Secrets... When you share everything with your loved one its soooo hard to keep a secret! I've had this website up for almost a month ourweddingproposal.com and I tell my girl everything, except for this site. I don't understand how people keep secrets from one another? Some people cheat, others are just a closed book. I'm a very sharing, jaw wagging individual!! Everyday after work we both tell each other how our day went and we share most of our interesting stories throughout the day...

Laura kept a secret from me back in December 07. She threw a 30th birthday surprise party for me and boy did she trick me. I fell for her story hook line and sinker. Just after I bought my car we planned to drive to Orlando to visit Sea World and visit some friends. But before we left for the road trip we went to "Laura's friends house" to pick up some free tickets to Universal Studios. As we got close to her friends house I thought I had been there before and when we arrived at the house I said to her that I know our friend Pope lives close by... I had no clue even at the door and WOW once the door opened and I saw our friends I was in shock... I still can't believe she pulled off such a great surprise! Most of my local friends where there and the party was definitely a success! Everything except for turning 30 years young....

So tell me whats the secret? Have you kept any secrets from your loved ones? I can't even sleep some nights thinking about what I'm going to change to the website. Go see my site and add to the news section. Write a story, comment or just browse. I've spent so many hours and would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

Searching the Internet.

Why is it so hard to get people to come to a site? I've put links to every imaginable site on the internet and I think I've gone through the entire internet twice now! There has to be an easier way to get people to visit my site and give me ideas. If I get enough ideas I'm sure to make this an engagement proposal never to forget. I don't think thats ever possible but i like to be a little over dramatic!
