Proposal Idea #1: Capture the Sun. During a sunset or sunrise, ask your girlfriend if she can capture the sun between her fingers. When she does, tell her you can capture the sun and world. Reach out and capture the sun with your ring. She’ll probably ask what you’re holding. Turn to her and propose by saying, “I told you I could capture the sun… now if you say yes, I’m gonna prove to you I can capture my world… Will you marry me?”
