Marriage time, proposal ideas?

Yeah, so my girlfriend says I cannot buy anymore car partsd until she gets a ring. Well, might as well get it out of the way, so I bought it. But I am lacking a little bit in the creativity department. She knows I bought it, but has no idea when or where, or how! This is where I am asking for some help. Oh yeah, she thinks I love the car more than her, so I figured, make it something to do with that whole concept. Any ideas?????

Thanks guys, maybe some help from the ladies as well?

if she likes baseball at all, you could call up the cubs or white sox front office (whichever you prefer) and see if you can get them to let your g/f throw out the first pitch at any given game.

Game Day: you show up to the stadium and take her to the players entrance so she can get onto the field and throw out the ball, the ushers take her in and prep her for her big appearance. While she's doing this, you conveniently aren't allowed in that entrance because you aren't the one throwing the ball. Once she's out of site, you are taken to a seperate room where you put on a catchers uniform, you go out onto the field and take your spot behind the plate. Minutes later your g/f walks out and is given a ball to throw back to you (her not knowing its you behind the plate). She throws the pitch, you bring the ball back to her, take off your mask and drop to one knee and pull the ring out of your back pocket just as a guy with a microphone walks over as well. You proceed to propose in the middle of the stadium with thousands watching and listening.

You might have to do a little hard work to get the ball club to go along with your idea.

Good luck...

if shes demanding now about you buying car parts then you dont have a prayer after the ring is on her finger. hehe....I was able to kick and scream for a few years before I was whipped.....but you mate....your already done for.

Now, if you still want to proceed here is what you do. Since she thinks you love the car more than her, Park the car on top of some real romantic cliff either by the ocean or at a lookout or something. put the ring in the car somewhere like dangling off the mirror. Then when she shows up drop to a knee at the back of the car so that she can see the ring hanging on the mirror. At this point she will probably start crying and getting all happy. Thats when you stumble backwards and nudge the car.....sending it...AND THE RING....careening off the cliff.
Then your buddy stashed off to one side can give you a ride to the Mitsubishi dealer so you can get a new EVO. As for the girl.....your on your own...she may appreciate it...she may not....hehehe.....j/k
Good luck. Im not too inventive when it comes to that stuff. My wife knew it was coming, she picked the ring.

park the car where she cant see it. and then leave a box where you usually park. inside the box is her ring. if she asks where is the car. "i sold it for whats inside the box" she finds her ring , and she thinks she is more important than your car at that time. after she says yes to getting married . go get the car

here is my idea, go to a park or something and have a picnic. when you get back to the car, pretend like there is something wrong with car. try to find a way so the car does not start. disconnect the battery or something(you have to that somtime during the picnic). get out the car open the hood and tell her to grab the flashlight from the trunk. and when she opens the trunk, all she will see is the ring. keep the ring in the box and just have the box open. once she opens the trunk, go to her and kneel down.
i dont think she will have a clue. she will think that your mind will be on the car becuase she thinks there is something wrong with it. you may have to do some acting and pretend you are really pissed cuz the car is not starting.

The baseball park idea reminds me of the video of the one guy that got shut down in the middle of the basketball arena. Hopefully that wont happen.

Thanks for all the great ideas, but keep em coming. She loves the car too, it is just hard for her to admit it. I wanted to buy some parts for her eclipse, but she won't let me, it is a 3rd gen anyway. I like the baseball idea, my buddy did it at the whitesox, go go whitesox, game, but he put it up on the screen, kind of cheesy. But I like the first pitch idea, it can easily be done at the sox park. They added features like that about a year ago. A good idea, but lets hear some more!

Thanks a bunch

Learn how to make fortune cookies....
Put the ring inside the fortune cookie, and make a fortune that states the obvious. Give the server the cookie beforehand, and when it is time to pay the bill and he/she brings out the cookies....your girl opens up the handmade one with the ring and message in it.

That would make me say yes right away

Have your attorney prepare a prenuptial agreement stating that in the event of divorce you get the car. Include a note stating that she can exchange the signed agreement for the ring and marriage bliss.
