Rollercoaster Proposal

Here is a fairly realistic but also a rather inexpensive and original way to propose to someone you care about that loves rollercoasters!

I would like to have the proposal done while riding on a rollercoaster and I would particularly like to see it happen on Shivering Timbers at Michigan’s Adventure. I would like this particular roller coaster because it is the roller coaster I have ridden the most in my lifetime and many times with my current boyfriend.

There is a camera on this particular rollercoaster and from riding it so many times I know exactly where it is located…after the ride is over you can go over to the stand and pick up your photo whether it be a keychain or an 8 x 10.

I would like to see my boyfriend propose at the camera spot on Shivering Timbres so that the moment can be caught on film–I love riding rollercoaster’s and I think that this is a rather original idea as well. I think this would make for a great memory and a great story to tell everyone, plus the picture helps your story feel real to everyone you are talking to.

Garden Proposal

This one needs to be planned well in advance–find a suitable tourist attraction with fantastic gardens…the best place is the Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh where they have a working clock face in the ground and grow flowers in to make the face!  Of course this same technique of planting can be used to spell out words. 

When the planting is being carried out arrangements need to be made for your loved one’s name and the proposal to be planted in the flower bed.  Several weeks later the flower bed will be in full bloom, then tell your loved one of your desire to visit this place and arrange a day trip, or even make a longer trip out of it. 

Take them to the garden where your proposal will have blossomed and the words ‘will you marry?’ will be there in bloom!  And to follow this up, if she says ‘yes’, of course the same flowers need to be used on the wedding day.
