Of course the most ideal thing would be to get a copy of a celebrity's diamond engagement ring custom made, but unfortunately it might put some strain on the ol' bank account.

Here are a few more good ones: Nick Lachey proposed to Jessica Simpson when they were on vacation in Hawaii. He pulled out the stunner of a diamond engagement ring when the two were in a yacht just off the coast of Hawaii. Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong proposed to singer Cheryl Crow after rowing her out to the center of a pond at dusk; he didn't have the engagement ring on him though so she didn't get it until afterward. When they were on vacation at a romantic bed & Breakfast in South Carolina, Ryan Phillippe served Reese Witherspoon breakfast in bed with waffles, strawberries and cream - and a diamond engagement ring. And one last one that you probably can't exactly imitate: Pink proposed to her beau motocross racer Carey Hart during one of his races by holding up a sign that reading 'will you marry me?'

Sure, there are lots of great ones that are sure to sweep your girlfriend off her feet. Just make sure to get her an engagement ring to match the occasion. Tom Cruise proposed to Katie Holmes in Paris, the most romantic city in the world, at the Eiffel Tower after a candle-lit dinner at the Le Jules Verne gourmet restaurant. Grammy winning singer Seal flew supermodel girlfriend Heidi Klum to the top of a glacier in a helicopter, then proposed to her in an igloo especially built for the occasion at 14000 ft above sea level! This may be out of your scope, but you can imitate it by building your own igloo at a park somewhere, setting romantic candles up inside and totally surprising her. Music executive Jordan Bratman filled a hotel room with rose petals and gift boxes filled with gifts. The last one she opened contained an engagement ring! When proposing to actress Neve Campbell, John Light got down on one knee, and recited Shakespeare before asking her to marry him.

Jordan Bratman’s proposal to Christina Aguilera in 2005 can make one’s eyes well up with tears. While on vacation in California, she walked into their hotel room to find it filled with rose petals and gift boxes. Each box contained a present (lovely) and also a poem he had written (bonus!). Inside the last box was the five-carat engagement ring. Moral of the story - Getting down on one knee can still be original and super romantic.

Brendan Fraser came up with an innovative idea when proposing to his girlfriend, actress Afton Smith. The two were on vacation in Paris, and as they were crossing a bridge over the Seine River, he suggested they take a picture of themselves with his polaroid. Meanwhile, just as the couple were saying cheese, he opened up his jacket where a note was pinned reading 'Will you marry me.' She read the proposal as the picture was developing. When Bobby Brown proposed to Whitney Houston, he got her not one but TWO engagement rings. He popped the question at home with a small engagement ring, then when she tearfully said yes, he pulled out another, bigger diamond engagement ring and slipped it on her finger.
