You've rented a sky-writer to propose to your significant other, but it's completely overcast. What will you do?

Do what I already do--propose to her at random times and places even though we're already married. My favorite time was when I bellowed "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" from the sidewalk across the street from where she was sitting on the balcony of our hotel in the French Quarter. Her response? "Oh for fuck's sake!!!" We were applauded by all in earshot.
