So my girlfriend of two months and I have gotten pretty close recently, and if I don't pop the question quick I have a feeling she's going to get skittish and find someone more committed. So, I have realized that I need to propose marriage IMMEDIATELY, preferably tonight, and since proposing marriage over the phone is lame, I've decided instead to sent her a link to a YouTube video of my marriage proposal. So she'll think the link is to one of those Ventrilo Harassment videos, or that she's about to be Rickrolled, and instead it will be this wonderful surprise. So, does anyone have ideas for good YouTube marriage proposal videos? I don't have a video camera myself so I'll need to find an existing video and edit my proposal message into the end, or something. At the moment I'm leaning towards something with real comedy potential like maybe this:

or something a little more romantic, like for example

So, anyone have any video suggestions? Or other advice? It'd be most appreciated. Also I'm going to buy her an iPod for her birthday. I'll probably slip it into her mailbox.

Paraphrasing Niles Crane:

I can see this marriage proposal going very smoothly! *rubs hands*.

No, no, and NOooooooo.

If you love this girl, you don't want to do this, it's a sure way to end everything in a hurry. How much can you know someone over 8 weeks? Take it easy for awhile and wait until the right time.

Leave YouTube to the 15 year olds on with their webcams.

instead of being a critic, ill just give you my opinion:

Yay to getting married
Ney to using youtube to facilitate it

i realize this is the era of technology, but some things are best left to old fashions such as marriage -- one of the oldest human institutions

I believe the sirs, vampires, and the like which have responded previously are correct in their sayings; do not wed this hound of yours so soon! It would be a mistake you will likely not find time or money to regret.

So, let me get this straight. You want to propose to her, after 2 months, over the internet, and are either considering something comical or expecting that YouTube will be in some way romantic?

I'm sooooo hoping you're stoned right now, for her sake. [headshake]

shes fat. She'll probably choke on a twinkie while watching the video, so I wouldn't worry about it.

What is this, e/n on Something Awful?

Seriously, though, don't. If think she wants more commitment, maybe there is something a little bit less drastic you can do to show your commitment.

What's wrong with the old fashioned method of forcing someone to commit to a shaky relationship? Just get her pregnant.

I really, really hope this is a joke. :D

YouTube for proposal = bad
Proposal to girlfriend of two months = WORSE

Mark?

Just tell her you love her in a serious way so that she gets the message. OR you could just be really open and say "btw i am commited to this relationship kthxbye"

although im against the idea of marriage in general, i say go for it
make sure u post frequent updates to youtube, humans like to wallow in others strife (throw in a comedic element also)
you could be a star like this (saw yesterday)

fame becons, are u wo/man enuf

( i did meet a couple of tourists years, ago who had gotten married on the same day they met (possible here in nz), quite funny, both seemed hung over by the stream but im sure thats not the main reason of thier silence, [after pause ] haha i remeber it better now i was with this german girl, we went + saw one of her friends who was living in this teepee WTF! anyways, down by the stream we got introduced 'heres jack?(from france?) + jill?(from holland?) the met each other for the firsdt time yesterday now they're married ). fuck hind sight, it would of been great to yell congradulations.

Program her a rotating 3D heart with 3D text asking her, much cooler, esp. if you have her figure out which dependencies she needs.
