Not necessarily romantic, but...
She had given me an ad of the exact ring she wanted months earlier. I got the ring and kept the ad. I was over her parents place and "realized" that I had the ad in my pocket and I asked her if she wanted it back. Of course she said no, so my response was "I guess you want the real thing." So I reached into my other pocket and pulled out the box with the ring and got on one knee and I said "So, are you going to marry me?"
The best part came next. Her father had just gone upstairs to go to bed (early to bed type). So she calls up to him and says to come down. He grumpily asks why, and she says to just come. So he comes down in just his boxers and with his teeth already out and asks what's going on. She shows him the ring, he's happy, yadda yadda yadda. Unfortunately that is the image that stands out the most from the event.
