First of all Congrats! 
Arrange for a day at a private beach together, building sand castles or digging for shells. On the night before, write a love poem on a peice of parchment paper, roll it into an antique bottle with a cork, and bury it in a well marked spot in the sand near your diggings. Be sure you "find" the bottle as you dig together. Open and read the poem, then present the diamond from your pocket and ask her for her hand in marriage.
They say what makes it all romantic is really a favorite place or a favorite song or something you just love doing together.
I am sure you will come up with something! Have fun!

The Wife® and I had made a tradition of celebrating our going-together anniversary at The Corsair, one of our local fine-dining establishments, and I decided that's where I'd pop the question. So, I made an appointment to meet with the manager to make the arrangements.
I selected a semi-secluded round booth that they later told us they called the "love booth." I also looked over their huge wine list but in the end, I talked the manager into allowing me to bring in a special bottle even though they normally don't allow corkage. By special, I don't mean that it was an especially good, expensive, or rare vintage...it was just a nice, undistributed reserve bottling that we purchased on her first trip to an estate winery. I also arranged to drop off a bouquet of flowers ahead of time, to be waiting for her in the booth.
For flowers, I had researched the 19th century custom of assigning meanings to flowers in certain colors and arrangements. I selected a dozen roses in various colors to symbolize things like love, passion, friendship, and fidelity, and had them bound in pairs with ribbon, to signify our engagement.
Finally, the ring...for which there is a backstory. At the time I proposed, we'd been seeing each other for three years and certain friends of ours that we'd see at the watering hole had been teasing us about tying the knot. One day while shopping at Walmart, we came across a couple of cheap wedding-ish looking rings that would look somewhat convincing under bar lighting. We wore them that night and had great sport with our friends when they finally noticed we were wearing them. The "Walmart rings" became mildly infamous after that.
I had already scouted out the real ring...a nice one at that...but just couldn't bring myself to buy it without her there. I always thought it was important for us to make big decisions together...and this was a doozie. So, I obtained a velvet ring box and put the Walmart ring inside. That's right, I proposed with a ring that cost me a whopping $6.97!
So, between dinner and desert, I scooted over next to her and explained the secret meanings of the colors of her roses...and then the symbolism of them being tied together. That's when I dropped to one knee and produced the ring, catching her completely off guard. Of course, I had to be quick about explaining that ring. She got a big kick out of it, actually, while appreciating that we'd make the decision about the real ring together.
That was almost two years and we now celebrate our wedding anniversary at the same restaurant.
Me too...dammit! :blush:

Observation deck of the Empire State, offer her the world.
Something like...."I would give up all of this (pointing at the skyline) if you would be mine"
Hey did you notice this was asked in 2002? The guy is probably married has kids and the wife told him no more cigars. The last time he posted was in 2005.
Tommy, Puro Brat is the ultimate in FOGs :sign:

You say She's classy well nothing says classy better than Vegas. That's right get the best room at the hotel have the hotel put the big question on the big screen in front of the hotel on the strip. They will tell you that your message will appear at a certain time then you take her to see the screen. I'm telling you Vegas is the marrage capital of the world.
You can have everything set up be ore you leave home. My suggestion would be stay at the Belligio (get the lake view room) Very romantic!!!
