Do you plan to just plunk her down on a blanket, and pop the big question? If the fireworks are in full tilt, make sure she can really HEAR you over the noise. You don't want her saying: "HUH??? What did you just say???"...at that crucial romantic moment It's not cheesy at all...just make sure to PLAN AHEAD, and bring the champagne for when she utters a "YES!"

It sure beats going to dinner and then for dessert presenting her with "the carat cake". Not that I'm against that. It's just not the most original idea. It will definitely be loud and that might ruin the moment. How about when the fireworks are in full swing, you get down on your knee and open the box. Instead of the ring, there will be a note: "I love you. Will you be my wife?" Then you can take the ring out of your pocket and slip it onto her finger when she says yes. That way, words won't be necessary. And I definitely second the champagne idea!

I wondered about the champagne idea before too, but couldn't figure out how to hide it (don't want her to see it, she knows the proposal is coming and she could figure it out if she sees it). Suggestions guys? The blanket idea sounds good!

You have to eat, right? The fact that YOU are bringing dinner would be a very nice treat for your lady. Your Pic-i-nic Basket (said in Yogi Bear voice) could hide/contain all the necessary celebratory treats such as champagne. At this time of year, places like Target will have really cute baskets. (Once you're engaged, the basket will serve as a special momento that you can use over & over again ) The food doesn't have to be anything really fancy or expensive...hit up your local supermarket...they will have everything you need. Good bread, cheese, pastries, etc. Tell the deli girls you're proposing. I'd bet they would just LOVE to help a guy out wink Keep us posted, my friend!

You can put the champagne in a backpack with some blue ice or an ice pack or two to keep it chilled. Put your blanket to sit on top of it so if your FF asks whats in the back pack you could say, oh, our blanket . . . . A WHOLE month to prep for it. Your proposal will be GREAT!

My other half propsed in Paris, France at the Eiffel Tower (total surprise) and it wasn't cheey at all.
