Finally made the plunge, after months of searching for the right diamond and setting, I''m ready to make it happen. Planning to propose in about 2 weeks.
Can some ladies around here comment on my proposal idea, and perhaps offer suggestions?
My plan is to do it over a weekend. Friday night, prepare a wonderful romantic dinner in. I cook for her all the time and we always make time-consuming involved meals, so hopefully she''ll think I''m just being nice. And include all the romantic stuff like flowers, candles, etc, etc.
Except this is a fake out. I know she''ll think the ring is coming - but this dinner is just to throw her off! I figure we''ll eat and finish the night with a movie or something..
The next day, when she''s least suspecting it, I''m gonna surprise her. There is a local winery which she absolutely loves, and we discussed going there together, since we''ve never been there together. I originally wanted to surprise her about the whole day - wake her up with the proposal and breakfast in bed, then surprise about the day at the winery.
But reading some other responses, some girls wouldn''t like to be proposed when just awoken up, or surprised by waking with the ring on her finger.
So I think here are my choices:
1) Wake her up with a surprise breakfast in bed, and a diamond ring.. and the surprise day at the winery.
2) Tell her ahead of time about the winery tour, surprise with breakfast and ring.
3) Surprise breakfast, tell about winery, and pop the question before we go?
I was originally going to hire a driver but am still tossing that idea around.
Any ladies have similar type experiences or suggest what they''d like? My GF enjoys getting dolled up for any occasion, and while I don''t think she''d hate waking up to a proposal, I don''t want her to look back and be upset that she was tousled from sleep.
Ant advice, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The clock''s tickin!
