Question Posted Tuesday September 25 2007, 2:27 am
I'm 18/m and in a serious relationship, I mean to say is that I intend on marrying this girl. She's 16, and we've been going out 2 years in February. For me this is huge and I'm tapped for idea's on what to do. I've already cooked her a really nice candle lit dinner, taken her to dinner on a lake and watched the sun set while eating dinner, and taken her to movies and all that other common stuff. But what I want, everything has to be mind boggling. I need something that will make her cry from being so happy/astonished. So, any romantic ideas would be awesome.
As for ideas - how about booking a balloon flight over a local beauty spot, a day out on a boat or a ride in a limo to dinner. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]

NOBODY at the age of 16 is ready for marriage no matter what they say. if you really really want to marry her then wait until she's at least 18. i don't even think it's legal to marry someone under 18, at least not in the U.S. you need to really think about this. asking someone to marry you isn't like asking someone to go out with you and if it doesn't work out then you just break up a move on. two years is nothing compared to a lifetime with the same person. sorry but i have my doubts. she's too young.

That being said, if you tell this girl you want to marry her she might be a little freaked out. I know people that's happened to before. So just wait a bit before you mention marriage because she probably hasn't even thought about it.
What you could do is some kind of surprise thing. I got some of this from a book so it might not be doable, but you can adapt it for your purposes. Have her parents ground her so that she's at home. Have someone drop off a nice dress and heels (get her size from her friends and family) along with a dozen roses at her house. Also leave a note saying something along the lines of "follow my instructions". Have someone else call her, tell her to get ready and go outside. Have a limo waiting to drive her to a romantic spot, maybe a beach? Be dressed up and decorate the spot you're going to be with candles, a table, tablecloth, rose petals, etc. Have a really nice dinner prepared and some music- a boombox if you're on a budget, otherwise hire someone to play music. Maybe a pianist or string quartet. Suggested songs- Canon, Cristofori's Dream, Moonlight Sonata. After dinner maybe dance for a little bit, then give her your gift. A really nice letter/poem and maybe some nice jewelry. Tell her how much you love her then take her home. The next morning, spend the whole day spoiling her- breakfast in bed, etc.
You could also do this on a boat on the lake, that would be really cool. Personally what would make me cry is beautiful flowers (find out what kind she likes, not all girls like roses!)and a letter written from the heart.
