Hopefully you guys (and girls for that matter) can give me some ideas on how to do it in a really creative and romantic way. And I'd love to hear how you proposed (or were proposed to) as well. I don't want to duplicate someone else, but your stories might give me some ideas.

Great job, Sam!

I've finally settled on a time and place to propose to her, but I still need to work out the details of how. I actually do know someone at NASA, so maybe the zero-G proposal could happen! :-)
