I lived with 3 other guys back when all of us were single, and we're all married now. There was this blanket that we had in the house (somehow it got the nickname of "El Greenyo", but that's another story), that developed a habit of being present whenever proposals happened.
Greg used it on a mountaintop, I used it in a park, and Bill in a gazebo. Dan went to Cambodia and fell in love with a nurse there.
He called me to see if I could ship El Greenyo to Cambodia so that he could propose. I did (for $45!!), he proposed, been married now for a year. He and his wife just returned back to the US, and E.G. is back in my house.
O, and BTW, we're all still happily married (but I doubt that it is because of the blanket). This is the short story--E.G.'s real story is much longer, and much, much funnier. We always say that it will be a great story to tell our kids.
Notes on my proposal--I had asked her ahead of time HOW she would like to be proposed to. She said, "Serenaded." Me and 3 friends put together an a capella version of "Earth Angel" by the Penguins. She still asks us to sing it for her when we are all together. Flowers are a nice touch. I also called her dad (in Nigeria) the previous week for his permission, which is another thing that she had wanted me to do.
Good luck, but don't make it super-complicated--these things never go according to plan.
