One of the biggest moments in a person's life is when they get engaged. Here is a list from Diamonds & Jewelry of 30 ways to pop the question and make your proposal a memorable experience.

1. Not sure what type of ring to buy her? Buy ANY piece of jewelry and have it inscribed with "Marry Me". She'll always have that and then she can pick out a ring she loves.

2. Dropping the ring in a glass of Champagne is simple, elegant and effective. Just make sure she doesn't drink the ring!

3. Get dressed as a gorilla, clown, prince or, better yet, a Knight in Shining Armor. Go to her home or where she works with a balloon and have the ring tied to the end of the string.

4. Take her on a hot air balloon ride and pop the question during the flight. Just make sure the ring doesn't go flying overboard. If she doesn't like hot air balloons, a helicopter or carriage ride is a lovely alternative.

5. Place an ad with your photos in her favorite magazine or newspaper. Imagine her surprise when she is reading and sees her face in her favorite magazine. Or, if you really want to make sure she doesn’t miss it, circle the ad and fold the page.

6. Have a billboard ad on the highway. This is costly, but WOW; what a surprise! Just make sure she sees it before everyone in your town starts congratulating the two of you!

7. Call her favorite radio station and ask her on the air.

8. Take her to a sporting event and see have the question placed on the arena screen.

9. If she is into theater, plan on taking her to a play and then on a horse and buggy ride, if possible, where you'll ask the question. Don't forget the champagne to celebrate!

10. Create a path of rose petals from the front door to her bedroom. Fill the room with roses, other flowers, balloons and candles. Be waiting for her on the bed (which is sprinkled with rose petals, of course) holding the ring. This is sure to win her heart.

11. Take her to dinner at your favorite restaurant. Prearrange to have the waiter bring a single red rose to the table with the ring attached to the rose.

12. Bake a cake for her birthday and use the ring as a cake topper. Instead of happy birthday, write out “Will you marry me?” in her favorite color icing.

13. Take her on a picnic with all the trimmings. Leave the ring in the basket while you serve the meal. Ask her to get something out of the basket later. She’s sure to be surprised seeing it there at the bottom of the basket.

14. Take a walk on the beach and write "Will you marry me" in the sand.

15. Send her flowers every day for a week leading up to the day you ask her.

16. If your girlfriend is a computer geek or just online all the time, build a web page with photos of the two of you and propose on the site.

17. Are the two of you beach bums? Hire a skywriter to write, "Will you marry me?" Or, rent a plane that carries a banner behind it.

18. Want to get engaged to a bookworm? Buy a book and cut out a hole the same size of the ring in the pages. This is more difficult than it sounds, so make sure you have plenty of time to cut the proper hole. Place the ring in the book and present it to her.

19. Freeze the ring in an ice cube. Give your lovely lady a cold drink using your ring cube. Use a clear glass and a clear type drink, water or a clear soda so she sees it.

20. Feel like making her work for it? Give her a BIG present and have a smaller wrapped box inside. In that box, put a smaller wrapped box...until the last box is the ring box.

21. Is she a pet lover? You can get her a puppy or kitten and tie the ring around the new animal's neck as a collar? If she already has a house full of furry friends, tie the ring around her favorite cat or dog's neck. Now just make sure the four-legged friend doesn't bite the ring off and swallow it!

22. Does she travel on business a lot? Pick her up at the airport with a sign that says, "Will you marry me?” Get down on one knee right in the baggage claim.

23. Build a snowman together, and then when she isn't looking put the ring box in the snowman's hand.

24. Have a singing telegram delivered to her at work.

25. Give her a foot massage and place the ring on her little toe. You’re already down on one knee!

26. Do you have the keys to her car? Fill it with Balloons and a sign that says, "Will you marry me."

27. Sometimes it's not how you do it but where. Go to your favorite spot, whether it's a park, the beach or a favorite restaurant. Then just get down on one knee and ask her to marry you.

28. Taking a vacation soon? Pop the question during the vacation. She will really be surprised.

29. Have your marriage proposal placed on a slide before a movie.

30. Use glow in the dark stickers to spell out, "Will you marry me?" Then settle in for a movie or just to cuddle. Don’t forget to turn off the lights!
