how old is the OP and his girlfriend? Where do they work (assuming both have jobs)? What are their respective levels of education?

Will there be a pre-nuptial agreement?

no, I'm just wondering if the OP, a year from now, is going to post a thread asking about no-fault divorces

I don't want to sound preachy, but marriage isn't for everybody and young people should carefully consider what they're getting themselves into, especially if neither of them have much of an education or aren't on some kind of career path that doesn't involve flipping burgers or mopping floors.

Dumb people can get married, but shouldn't have kids.

I was at a Black Keys concert last month... When they play Everlasting Light they bring out two disco balls and darken the venue completely. I thought that'd be a cool time to propose on the floor at the United Center in Chicago. Alas, I has no girlfriend and I had lower bowl tickets.

I got it!

Essentially plan the wedding by yourself before you propose.

I mean all of it, the food, the venue, the dress, the whole shebang. It will take some time to deduce who she would invite and what foods she should want for the wedding, but it will be well worth it.

All right now here is the magic. Go for a drive with your unknowing bride-to-be. Have your tux and her dress (you have been taking her measurements in her sleep right?) in the back. Drive past the church or whatever venue you chose.

One thing to remember is to have all the guests park well away from the wedding venue, or in the back, so the bride does not see a bunch of familiar cars and becomes suspicious.

Now pull into the lot of the venue, claiming you have a flat tire or some sort of mechanical issue (I would recommend saying something really complicated, which she will believe unless she is an ASE certified mechanic). Get out of the car and begin acting very frantic and scared. Tell your growingly concerned bride-in-waiting that the car is about to explode. The two of you should run about 100 yards away from soon to be fireball previously known as your car. Once clear of the car she should express some doubt of if the car was going to actually explode. When she does, say this:


"I am sorry, thought the car was going to explode under the pressure of this moment."

When she asks what moment, you get on your knee and pop the question.

If she says yes you grab her and carry her into the church (hopefully you have been working out a lot). Have someone else fetch the dress and tux out of the trunk. Go get changed, and go get married!!!!!!!






This plan has only one flaw, which is if she says no, you could potentially be out a lot of money.

If she says no, try asking here again with a really concerned look. She might sense the gravity of the moment and accept. If she does say no again, consider calling your mistress and ask if she wants to get married.




Best of luck!

I saw a good one at the TN Smokies game a couple of weeks ago. Caught everyone off guard. They were playing one of those in between innings games and RC (the MC) had the couple up on the dugout playing a 20 questions trivia game. For the last one he says "and of course the most important question..." where the dude gets down on one knee and says "will you marry me?" She said yes.

It was really great.

Take a great big poop, fish it out, use a knife to carve 'marry me' in the side. You will score points for being original.
