    lono, great advice. i appreciate it, but since this is my second wedding, i'm stuck trying to top the first engagement. so, i need ideas beyond doing it in private. oh, and i must be sober, so the asking has to be in daylight hours.

    OK, then. Take her to Home Depot and hide the ring in a bag of mulch.

    And when she finds it, be prepared for three hours of phone calls.

    And per Petty's advice about the Renfro party, it's an engagement. China White is cool. Black Tar, not so much.

    Who says you're "stuck trying to top the first engagement"? Fuck that.

    Just do something different, something meaningful, something personal and realize you're the luckiest bastard on the planet if you get that wonderful woman to marry you.

    Don't mention the first engagement while asking this time. Bad form.

    the idea for now is to utilize the paper's web site, with a story, photo slideshow and a video, but it feels a bit too public to me.

    Then don't over think it. A nice restaurant, a heartfelt proposal - that's all you need.

    You don't get style points for degree of difficulty.

    That said, for the love of all that's holy, no toothpaste this time. Really.

    I agree with you Gola. It's about you and her. Fuck everyone else.
