Ok...so here is my idea. Let me know if it''s any good. Any feedback is appreciated.
My girlfriend loves to ride (horses), so I have decided to surprise her for our four year anniversary by taking her to a Bed & Breakfast (B&B) in the mountains that specializes in horseback rides.
Here is the setting...
While she is busy getting ready for the evening event she doesn''t know of (the proposal), I am going to sneak out and find a secluded area in the hills surrounding the B&B to watch the sunset. I plan on bringing along her favorite bottle of wine and her favorite type of cheese. I''ll bring the camera along to capture some pictures of the sunset, but also to use as a diversion for the question. After we have had some wine (enough for me to ease my nerves) and cheese, I''ll bring her over to a specific tree that will be unique. I''ll have her set the timer on the camera and come over to join me for a picture by this tree. What''s special about the tree is...I will have already inscribed the question on the tree ''Erica, will you marry me?,'' and if I wanted to add a comedic affect, I could also include ''Circle Yes or No,'' or go with something more cutesy and draw a heart with my initials and tell her to inscribe her ''would be'' initials if she said ''Yes.'' As she walks over to the tree, I will point out the inscription on the tree and drop to one knee (hopefully as the timer goes off on the camera...I''ll need to practice I guess) and pop the question.
Let me know what you think...is it cheesy, romantic, should I add the comedic affect or the other option?
