If you have an engagement ring burning a hole in your pocket...if you're about to pop the proverbial question...trust me, this is no time to be shy. In fact, now would be a wonderful time to show your creative side.
Pull out all the stops, my man, pop that question with style. The best way to do that, of course, is to surprise her with an engagement ring hidden inside something cool like a treasure chest filled with pirate's gold and candy necklaces! And since Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp immediately come to mind these days when you think "treasure chest," bring them along for the ride.
Make this moment special by mixing fun and humor in with the romance. Create a Pirates of the Caribbean evening, complete with eye patches and pirate talk. When she finally opens the treasure chest and finds that ring she will never forget this evening or you. Ever.
Show Her Your Romantic Side
Love is in the air, tiny hearts fall from the sky every time she walks by…you are so in love you can't see straight. You want to shout to the world how much you love her - in fact, you have. (She's not as embarrassed as she let on. Secretly, she loved it!)
Don't stop now, buddy. Keep the momentum going. Show her you have what it takes to keep her entertained for a lifetime. Don't just give her an engagement ring, surprise her with an engagement ring. Tucked inside a treasure chest? Come on. What could be more perfect?
She'll be flattered and surprised and so happy. Don't you be surprised if you both tear up.
To sweeten the pot - or treasure chest, as the case may be - toss in some fake beads, chocolate coins, and other goodies that will point to a fun evening at home, just the two of you. Um, and, of course, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. She won't mind the extra company - no red-blooded woman would - but not to worry. Since Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom will be on the screen and you'll be right there beside her, she'll only have eyes for you.
Show Her Your Playful Side
Surprise her on a night when you normally go out with the guys. This time, say you'd like to watch a movie with her, instead. Then suggest Pirates of the Caribbean and hand her the treasure chest gift basket. She'll be tickled you chose her over the guys, and charmed with the fun treasure chest gift basket. She's sure to cancel any plans she might have had so she can stay home with you.
She won't be expecting an engagement ring, but as she digs into the treasure chest for chocolate coins and fake jewelry, she'll eventually come across one ring that is quite real. Can you imagine her genuine surprise? It's such a clever way to say "I want to marry you."
Shiver Me Timbers, Love Is In the Air
As you watch the movie - try and keep that silly grin off your face or she'll wonder what you have up your sleeve. But don't miss the look on her face when she finds the ring box. Pay close attention. This is one reaction you don't want to miss. (And she will react…I guarantee it.)

Tips:
 | Buying an engagement ring is a symbol of the commitment you are making to your bride-to-be. Different styles, options and choices are available for every budget, so spend moderately and go for a style that suits the one you love. |
 | When people shop for jewelry or rings, they often look at the gem cut before anything else. Unfortunately, they can confuse a gemstone's cut with its shape. |
 | There are few things more important to a newly engaged woman than her new engagement ring. It serves as a reminder to both you and the rest of the world of your happy intentions. |
Truth be told, unless you are trained to determine the difference between a cubic zirconia gemstone and a diamond gemstone, odds are you too will have some degree of trouble. |
Life has a few really big expenses: home, car, and engagement rings. Of them all, the most terrifying experience can be getting the engagement ring. Beyond the fact that you might be worrying about what her answer will be, most of us know a lot more about homes or cars than we do about diamonds. |
