Is she the type of person who would enjoy a public proposal? Or would she find it slightly embarassing? That's really the most important thing.

There's no hope for spontaneity, so your only bet is to somehow deliver an original take on the tried-and-true. Not easy.

My bet is that she susses out what's going on as soon as you present the box.


Personal hygiene... check!

Good luck.

My experience is that all her girlfriends for the next 10+ years will ask, "How did he propose". And, she will have a very good story to tell. Well done!
