I'm also a hopeless romantic, and I know that a) I want to be the one taking the lead and b) it has to be something memorable and very special feeling.
Another thing, the wedding is of course a public thing, but the engagement i see as private. Doing things like inviting friends along to participate in the occassion just feels wrong for me...puts this weird pressure on her that i wouldnt want. Same thing with these sensational public displays, where the guy has the question popped via blimps or at a football game (*makes nauseous face*). Nope, I'm more the "while up in a cottage in the mountains, snowed in just the two of us" kind of guy.
