It's too unoriginal for me as well. I would like my current boyfriend to do something extremely nerdy like put the ring in a pokeball and propose to me that way. Everyone's got their preferences right? I'm not going to lie, I am into nerds x)
My wife doesn't like big productions and gets embarrassed really easily. On New Years Eve of 1999 We were heading to my parent's house for a party after having a nice dinner and I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk in the park by their house before we went into the crowd. We walked around and came to a spot where we had pizza on our first date. She was cold so I held her close and asked if she had any new years resolutions. She said not really, how about you? I said to "To spend as much of the next millennium with you as possible... will you marry me?" and pulled out the ring.
