try cafe cafe KL

good enviroment & many ppl proprosed there too

or one of the more common one i saw when i was in America is, propose during a concert, a ball match etc.

Of course Rhiana wont give a f*ck to you (Her concert postponed anyway), try something smaller. Like bring her to a recital concert( those r mini concert done by music school students as a platform for practice n assigment n exam. but beware, that one normally the music also a bit arty one).

Or u can try cinema. just a non motion screen for 30 seconds shouldnt be too expensive gua.

Cinema advertisement u can specifically request for show n time n venue. times r bad, probably they ll entertain u.

Of course make sure after the proposal, the show is not like Texas Chainsaw Massacre la

You are wrong

In UK, the marriage rate has been increased recently even though it is battered by economic crisis...

Marriage is natural evolution, whether during war or peace, marriage will still happen because it is natural progression of human life...

cos everyone no work/ no job.. too free

How bout bring her to ice skating....then ask her to stand in the middle of the ring. then u propose her there hahaha~. Haha got inspired by a wedding on ice at sunway pyramid on Valentines day.

cos everyone no work/ no job.. too free 

not yet finalized...still tryin to consolidate w more ideas...

Recession sees marriage rate rise
The recession may have brought misery to many but it appears to have led to joy for others by encouraging increase in the number of marriages.

The trend could be a result of people seeking greater stability at a time of uncertainty

Register offices and churches have reported a rise in marriages and civil partnerships since the onset of the economic downturn.

Experts say the trend could be a result of people seeking greater stability at a time of uncertainty.

Chrissie Stainton, who has been a registrar in Poole, Dorset, for 16 years said she had never known a surge like it.

"It's beyond belief," she said. "It is always busy after Christmas but we are struggling to fit people in. For some reason, weddings do seem to be on the up."

At one venue in Poole, Compton Acres gardens, bookings are up 70 per cent compared with last year.

Suzie Watts, the manager, said: "We've seen a staggering rise in bookings and enquiries but at the same time we are seeing signs that couples are being more savvy with their spending.

"The popularity of midweek weddings certainly suggests an emerging trend."

Tara Howard, managing director of the Langtry Manor Hotel on Bournemouth's East Cliff, said: "It has been amazing. We have been rushed off our feet.

"We have had them queuing up for appointments to be shown around. We are well up on what we were this time last year for the year ahead."

At Christchurch Priory, in Dorset, bookings for 2009 are up 25 per cent on last year.

At Westminster register office, in London, there were 1,457 weddings and civil partnerships during the whole of 2008. After just one month of the new year, the office already has 776 bookings for 2009.

A spokesman said that that was an unusually high number so early in the year. "We have noticed that we are really busy. It does look like the credit crunch is making people get married," she said.

Registrars in Liverpool married 281 couples between September and December, compared with just 253 over the same period in 2007, a rise of 11 per cent.

In Newcastle, there were 815 weddings between April 2007 and the following March. Since then, there have already been 854.

In Leeds, in the second half of last year, when the effects of the credit crunch started to be felt across Britain, there were 887 marriages. This compares with the corresponding period in 2007 of just 841.

In Manchester, there were more than 1,600 weddings last year, compared to just over 1,500 the year before. Already, there have been 500 booked this year.

Meanwhile, a survey by the wedding planner website, Hitched, of wedding dates found that the most popular wedding date this year is August 1, on which 561 of its clients are already due to wed.

Professor Cary Cooper, a social scientist at Lancaster University, said: "The increase in marriages makes sense. If you're feeling insecure, as people are now, then you are going to want to try to bring some stability to their lives.

"During a period of economic growth, when you have a more entrepreneurial climate, people are more me-oriented. But when times get tough, and you are out there on your own, you are going to look more for security in relationships."

However, the overall proportion of people getting married has declined in recent years.

Figures released last week by the Office for National Statistics found that just over half of adults, 51 per cent, were registered as married in 2007, compared with 59 per cent in 1998. Previous periods of upheaval have seen an increase in weddings.

The real reason why UK marriage rate increased is because there is a study that shows that married couple feels that they can withstand recession better than being single...

Why?

According to the study, simply because, with spouse, he or she can be motivated to do better!

yeah...apart from "motivation"...there's responsible to do better..so eventually things might turn out well 

Yeah, if i have GF and that time is economic crisis, i may just get married! 

haha. huh? close thread. tht thought never came to mind la.

im seriously very excited for u.   

y dun get a hotel room, some where private,intimate, just the both of u and time. and just propose la.

screw all the hiding around the bushes n surprises, just propose directly la.

maybe u can call 100 strangers or lowyat members to help u out. each of them hold 1 rose to give ur gf. untill the 100th is u holding. Then show time.
U have to think out lah, the idea is she walks alone or with frens(to be safe) on the way to meet u , so that when she receives the roses from stranger , she feels curious.

Marriage proposal should never be done in public, it's a very important decision which cannot be pressured into..

A proposal need to be in a private and non-pressurized environment no matter how confident you'll be getting the Yes word.

If you want it to be special yet on a budget.. here's a corny idea if you live alone and she drops by occasionally and got keys to your house.

--
Estimate which day she'll drop by your house.

Have woman's high heel / shoes placed in front of your house porch

Have woman's lingerie [panties/bra] all over the living room and baiting to your room.

Have your room showered with roses across bed, Canon in D playing in the background, dim lights, champagne, on one knee with the ring wearing a suit with tie, leather shoes and everything.. looking as suave as you've ever been.

Just as she storms into the room to murder you, you'll go suprisee
--

Note: If she enters the house and after 10min and hasn't enter your room.. most probably she commited suicide in the living room so please check after 10min or so..

go el cerdito yum yum

haha...go get 1 lor bro...since now economy oso not v good! 

hmm...think i'll go for Cafe Cafe as d venue...gotta find a day to liase with them/make reservation

thanks ya...well, nothing to hide around d bushes..now planning a nice romantic dinner for 2...then Bday cake 4 dessert..&finalized with an old-fashioned proposal... pretty lame huh? 

ohhh. lol. i see.

how is tht lame?? i think is nice wat.

actually right, it doesnt matter how u propose or how grand it is.

for me atleast la, heck, i wouldnt mind, if i just got out from the shower with a towel around me, barefoot, hair wet and the man i love proposes to me, right there and at tht moment.

as long as passion, compassion and sincerity is there. then tht is enough.
