First, I had friends and family of my (then) girlfriend send me videos describing what makes her awesome.
Next, I generated a dozen or so 6 character alphanumeric codes, and had Zazzle print them out for me.
Third, I built a web site that made it foolproof to type in codes and then play the videos. It had a huge textbox, and it turned lowercase into uppercase, and only accepted valid characters. It played the videos full screen. A few seconds before video ends, it has an overly with a hint for a scavenger hunt.
On the morning of the proposal,I made her breakfast in bed, gave her a gift and an envelope with the (very short) URL and the first code. After she watched the video and saw the hint, we got ready and I drove her to the location. Then gave her another envelope!
And so it went, until we arrived at our favorite waterfall hike, and at the foot of a waterfall, I handed her my camera and while she was distracted, got the ring out and got on one knee.
