Well the time is rapidly approaching. I purchased the ring, I received the father''s blessing, and I made all the preparations. Now I just need to build up the nerve to do it. So here is my plan, tell me what you think. I plan on taking her on Dec 17th to a huge out door/ indoor garden that is set up for Christmas with lights and decorations, its call Longwood Gardens I heard it is really beautiful this time of year. She has no idea, at least I think she doesn''t that I am going to do it that night so it should come as a surprise. I plan on walking around for a little bit with the ring in my pocket until I find a nice secluded spot to pop the question. It’s a really big place so it shouldn''t be a problem to find a private spot. After I propose I made reservations at the nicest hotel in the city for a romantic overnight stay which includes champagne, roses, a set up bubble bath for 2, and breakfast in the morning from room service. I also made reservations for dinner at the hotel for 8:30 so we can have time to go to the room and I can change into my suit that I will bring. So all in all I think I am pretty much prepared I just need to trick her in to bring a nice change of clothes that will be suitable for the hotel restaurant. I am planning to tell her that I will pick her up around 5 to go to Longwood Gardens (since its cold out she will most likely dress for warmth instead of style), and to bring a nice change of clothes for dinner reservations I made for 8:30. I tell her something like "we will go to Longwood gardens first and after we are done we will go back to my place and change for dinner reservations I made for 8:30." So tell me what you think. Hopefully I can pull this off with out any problems.
