So I''m going to propose when I visit my GF in Amsterdam in a couple weeks. The background is that she transfered there for work recently for 6 months, so we are apart until December. Since I''ll only see her this trip and one other trip, and we''ve talked of marriage quite a bit, I know she''s already expecting the proposal (she''s said she''s got 2 manicures scheduled in the next week), but I still want to make it somewhat special.
She is pretty private about these things and has mentioned she doesn''t think a proposal needs to be this ''over-the-top'' sort of deal that it has become. Since it''s a foreign country, it''s not like we have a ''favorite place'' or a first date location or the like. For these reasons, I''m planning a simple propsal in her apartment, and a nice dinner out that night to celebrate.
i''ll have some time while she is at work to make sure the apartment looks ''right'', however, other than flowers and possibly candles and champagne, what are some other ways I could ''re-decorate'' her apartment while she is at work to make it a little more memorable?
Keeping in mind that I won''t know where to go to get anything else I might want to set up the atmosphere. Any suggestions of easy ways to make an apartment look, well, less like an apartment. Or if anyone has any specific knowledge of Amsterdam that could be incorporated into the event, let me know. Thanks all.
