I wouldn't put the ring on an ice cream cone when she is not looking in the hopes that when she does look she will notice the ring and be really surprised.....because there is a good chance that she will not notice and eat the ring, it will get lodge in her throat, than some big fat guy with rancid BO has to come and give her the Heimlich, than the ring will fly out of her mouth land in the middle of the road during rush hour traffic, than just when you think there is a break in traffic and make a run for the ring a motorcycle comes out of nowhere hitting you at about 83 mph, nearly taking your head off, sending you to the hospital for 3 months, than when you finally got out of the hospital you look like Quasimodo, and your wife to be has already found another guy by that time, dumping your bell ringing ass on the curb....not speaking from personal experience or anything though.
