How do you end up in a relationship where you don't know what the answer will be?

I talk to my girlfriend all the time about how I'm gonna propose and have it be memorable. She enjoys the wackiness I manage to come up with.

Her favorite of my ideas - while deer hunting with her family, after we get one, I pretend to remove something from it's mouth (getting down on one knee to do it), then pull out the ring, saying "You've caught me red handed - will you marry me?"

My favorite - we were planning on going to a Con as Link and Zelda. Going up on stage for the costume contest, I'd pull out the ring and say "It's not safe to go alone. Will you take this?"

Why not just hand the ring over in the "change purse"?

Pretty much this. You don't do this without KNOWING the answer is going to be 'yes'

Incidentally, organizing a jumbotron-type proposal as a prank on a friend on a first- or early-date...that's a good idea

You know, that's really nerdily sweet. Reminds me of the one where a guy programmed that screen in the Zelda game ROM and then had his girlfriend play the game. She got to that point in the game and the old man said, "It's dangerous to go alone. Will you marry me?". It worked, apparently.

Poor acting is poor.

Yep, and such spontaneity also had a reporter nearby. Absolutely real, no question about it.

I'mma gonna call fake.

My first instinct is to agree with you, but I know better. First time my dad proposed to my mom she said no. He asked again 6 months later and she said yes. They've now been married for 34 years.

Allen262: It wasn't Zelda, it as Chrono Trigger as it was on Fark a year or two ago... or so I was told.

Ahem. ^{(^)}

Allen262: From the Farkhive. The Youtube Video is still up as well.

That doesn't change the fact that the one to which I was referring was specifically Zelda. However, the Chrono Trigger hack is still very impressive. :)

I thought this one was also pretty cool for a gamer wedding proposal:
Portal 2 (new window)

wombatsrus: I think I've seen that women before in commercials. Fake event, they are actors.

I could tell by the pixels.

Fake.
