The Best.... Worst Proposal Ever...

(...the longest street before the shortest road)

I'm currently planning a trip with my gf and some friends of ours, and I was hoping to use this as the opportune time to "pop" the question.

I have always wanted to have a unique and amazing proposal that she would never see coming.

One idea I have is to stage a fairly dramatic scene on the cruise ship. I was thinking I would do a "build a bear" and hide the ring inside the bear, and then give it to her as a small token for her birthday since it coincides with the cruise.

Later during one of our days at sea when they do all the festivities on board, coordinate with the crew and stage a scene with the ship's security to come and 'apprehend me'. Acting dumbfounded and asking why, they are to accuse me of stealing--pulling out the build a bear as evidence.

Denying the accusations and trying to 'resist arrest' I will finally admit to the guilt and to instruct her to open the bear.... when she does she will find the the ring. I will then propose, admitting I am guilty for breaking in to her life and stealing her heart.... There will be other smaller things to spruce it up but this is the general idea.

What do you think?
