It will happen on Memorial Day, so we got time before this can become reality. I''d like your help.
I don''t want to get too specific about places just in the off chance that she stumbles upon this site...trying to be extra careful.
But there is a beautiful mountain top that we both know of quite well and have shared a special moment early in our relationship. There are a few private areas (it''s a popular hiking area) that I can manage to get to and it''s particular gorgeous at sunset.
I was thinking of inviting her parents (they live in another state) and her sister, friends, and part of my family to get in on the fun a little.
I am going to make a few designed cards/clues that lead her to eventually to the mountain spot in question where I''ll be waiting to propose. The first card will give it away of course, she''ll know what''s coming, but it will deal with me being lost and if she''s willing to come find me.
Some of the clues will be simple references to our favorite movie where a clue might be in a dvd box, or just things about us, each one with a lyric from our song and a note to reflect on our past and future together. On her journey, she may have to do some metaphorical things like crossing water to find me, searching high and low, eventually climbing a mountain (don''t worry, it''s easy!)
Some clues, I''ll use the "helper" (her friend, siblings, and eventually parents) to help pass on the next clue. There really isn''t a good place to hide it a public spot, so I will need people to help and I thought it''d be special since she''d never know her family was coming. Of course, the last two clues could be her parents. I think this might be a little too emotional though, but I''m a sucker for romance obviously.
I''ll give directions to each person not to follow directly behind her, but to give her some space so it feels like her journey.
This will all lead to me, she''ll know exactly what''s coming, but hopefully all that build up will allow her to really reflect and soak it in when it finally comes and I can be there waiting with my back turned to her, get down on one knee, and pop the question.
There is a restaurant nearby and I can have plans for us all to go out afterwards.
Worries: One of the people in on it will spill the beans and ruin the entire setup. (Should I just try to go this alone, with maybe one person I can trust to guide her)
Suggestions: I feel like this needs fine tuning and/or I might be overlooking something.
Ideas? comments?
