i just really want him to be creative, cute and not toooo cliche.

plus sometimes cliche is cute(:

I've always wanted to be proposed to when I least expected it and be surrounded by white christmas lights (no matter what time of year). Maybe in the middle of downtown around christmas time? its always lit up really pretty and plus there would be people around to clap and smile and take pictures and stuff <3
and I swear if he ever asks by using Shakespeare (specifically, Romeo's lines when he asked Juliet) I will melt right there... just out of being overly impressed. (hah yep, its cheesy and I loooove it!)
is it weird that I don't want a "normal" engagement ring? I would rather have a little 50cent machine ring than something ridiculously expensive that its possible I won't even like...
I don't really have a dream proposal in mind, but I do want him to get down on one knee and completely take me by surprise. I don't want to help pick out the ring, I don't want to know when it's going to happen... I want it to be a total surprise that totally catches me off guard. That's all I want.
I would love to be somewhere that is just the 2 of us and maybe a place that has some meaning in our relationship. I don't really have anything in particular that I want to happen, I just want to be surprised!
Anything will be an improvement over my first engagement...we got engaged at midnight on the 4th of July in bed. Which now sounds romantic, but trust me, it was not.
I will be happy no matter how he decides to do it - I just want him to hurry up and do it already
I haven't given the proposal much thought. I think it would be nice if we were just going about our normal routine, watching tv or something, when he tells me that he loves me. Then goes into a romantic speech about how much he wants to spend the rest of his life with me and asks if I will marry him while down on one knee. I want it to be a surprise. I think that would be sweet.

Oh, I assure my SO will take my breath away! He doesn't always shower me in things but when he does something special for me, it is spectacular. This last time that I visited was a week after my birthday and he hadn't gotten me anything. I never said anything about it, not wanting to be rude and besides, my trip there with him was my gift to myself. I was happy just to be with him! He had me get all dressed up the last night I was there and he got me in the car. We drove to an area that he had never taken me before so I was COMPLETELY lost. He pulls into a rather isolated parking lot and when I get out, I can hear and smell the ocean.
He took my hand and we walked through the trees to the beach where there was a dock that lead out to a beautiful yacht where we had my birthday dinner. THIS WAS FOR MY BIRTHDAY! I was absolutely in shock and it was such a wonderful, romantic night.
I thought he might pop the question that night because that seemed so over the top for a birthday. However, it was just for my birthday. What a wonderful birthday it was So, if he goes all out for things like that, I can't even begin to imagine how he would propose! I might have a heart attack lol
I would be happy with anything, honestly. I would even love it if he did it at one of my big family get-together-dinner things we have so they can all be there to see it and share in the moment! However, his mentality is "go big or go home" about everything in his life. Oh my

Never really thought about what my dream proposal would be like.. but like some others on here, I'd prefer it if we were alone and I definitely deeeeefinitely want it to be a surprise. I don't want to have a clue Like Nicole, I'd rather the ring not be hidden in food or anything "movie-like" like that.. I'd like him to get down on his knee though
I don't really have a dream proposal. I'd like it to be a surpirse, even though the decision to get married was a mutual one and we decided that together
Ideally I guess I'd like if it were on a trip that we take somewhere together. I absolutely love travelling with him and he's the best personal travel guide, ever! I also like being alone with him and discovering new places together, so I'm generally the happiest when we go somewhere together and there's lots and lots of 'perfect moments'.
I've already told him that he has to have a ring, go down on one knee and speak in Polish (I couldn't take it serious if he spoke German), though.

Ha! I understand. I think I am the Queen when it comes to exes-with-bad-proposals. My ex-fiance MUMBLED IT IN WAL-MART. Then, his "re-do" was coming to my workplace and giving me the ring a day or so later. Yeah...Needless to say he ended up putting as little effort into our relationship as he did his proposal(s). I was so stupid at eighteen.
I have definitetly been wishy-washy about what I would want. I used to what something cliche, with a string quartet and a fancy restaurant but since then I have changed my mind. I want something that is personal to us, either a place or something else. Because we have made a probable timeline and LDR has been so hard on me, I imagine it will be right around the time we begin moving back together and it will feel like the end of something and the beginning of something much better. I would prefer to be alone (just the two of us) and have some time to process before I tell my dad (scary!). I also have been very clear to my SO, that I want to be the first to know (no family members waiting by the phone or anything), I am pretty against the whole "ask the father to marry your daughter," so yeah I know first then we can tell everyone else.
I think that I would love any way that he would propose to me, provided that it isn't on a super public Jumbotron or the like I want that moment to be between us.
That being said, my absolute dream proposal would take place at night near the Eiffel Tower while it's sparkling. Call me cheesy, but I've been to Paris numerous times and that sight always makes my heart melt.
Oh my
Think I'd like that too x)
