if she said no then you shouldn't get married. someone who loves you will say yes no matter what.

that sucks awesome idea by the way

You should have added, "Keep in mind that we're [X] feet above the ground."

That sucks for you OP...sorry she turned you down like that... that really sucks. My first instinct would be to tell you to make her wait and wait until you try to propose again. And I mean by making her wait months and months. But, if you are serious enough about her to marry her, then you should sit down and discuss how you took the time to plan this and how you felt about her rejecting you for the way you proposed. Don't hold in the pain or disappointment you feel about it--discuss it with her. Communication is one important thing to have a good relationship so while you just might give her the more traditional proposal that she wants, she should know how she hurt your feelings. I know a lot of women are defending the OP's girlfriend.... I think it is unfortunate she can't get past her fantasy about how she imagines being proposed to. reading about this I just realize I am so happy am not the type of woman to obsess or fantasize about how I was going to get proposed to or how my wedding day was going to be... I didn't have the romantic proposal or wedding but our marriage has lasted the distance so far, and I'd rather have the best marriage rather than the best proposal or the best wedding. Good luck to you OP!!

Er, so why don't you just give her a more traditional proposal later? /me clubs the OP in the noggin with a giant flounder. BTW, you're brain called just moments ago. It's been missing you lately.

that is soo cute..i hope someone propses to me like that

I always wanted something like this! However being extremely scared of heights probably not this exact proposel but still something like that would be so cool!

Take it as a hint that she wants to say yes. Take her out to a restaurant, get your butt down on one knee and make her the happiest woman on this planet! Sure, you went all out, but some girls prefer the traditional methods.

u haven't given her enough room to think about your proposal. nobody can think in a free-fall. She might got the impression that you wanted to get her approval during the time she wasn't able to think normally. Give her a traditional one later~ It's boring I know, but as long as it works... :(

I guess you don't match...
