Seven Romantic Holiday Marriage Proposal Ideas (onlinedatingmagazine.com - December 17, 2003) Here are seven romantic holiday marriage proposal ideas as presented by Brenda Ross, relationship advisor for Date.com: 1) Plan a night in to watch your favorite holiday film. Make a bowl of popcorn and place the ring at the bottom. When the popcorn's almost done, grab the ring and propose. 2) Find several boxes that can all fit inside each other. Wrap up the ring box and place it in the smallest box and wrap that as well. Continue until all the boxes are wrapped. When she's opening the gift and glaring at you for all the work she has to do, smile and tell her it's going to be worth it. 3) Take her out for a nice dinner at a romantic restaurant. Leave room for dessert and have the waiter bring the ring box on her dessert plate. 4) Prepare a special, romantic holiday dinner, complete with champagne. Don't forget the candles. Place the ring in the bottom of the champagne glass and pour the bubbly over it. Watch her eyes light up when you hand her the glass. 5) Put up the Christmas tree when she isn't home, only without any ornaments. Tie a string around the box and hang it on the tree. When she sees the box, prompt her to open it. 6) Make a plan to put up the Christmas tree together. Attach the ring to an ornament and put it back in its box. When the tree is fully dressed, tell her there's one more ornament and hand the box to her. 7) Throw a New Year's Eve party and let those attending know that you're planning to propose. Pop the question in front of everyone when the clock strikes midnight. "Remember, this is an opportunity that only comes around once a year", adds Ross "so if you make the most of it, it's something you can both cherish for the rest of your lives."
