OK, um, first a good old hello everybody.
People who have been keeping tabs in Rocky Talky know that I am looking at E-rings. So initially my plan was to propose with sentimental words on the highest observation deck of the Eiffel Tower during our trip to Europe in the late spring of 2007. I spent 6 months in the Paris area a few years ago, and She has been there once, but She totally loved it. I thought it would be a good place. This was a month or two ago.
ok fast forward to today...
So now I started looking at stones (way too early, I think) I have found what I want to give. Initially it was a total secret, but unfortunately I had to ask a few questions of The Perfect One to make sure I was looking in the right direction and it is not so much of a surprise as I would have liked it to be.
Prior To this I was very insistant that we have dinner at Le Joules Verene restaraunt on the second deck of the Eiffel tower because I am a food freak... but now I am thinking She will interpret my insistance (correctly) as the place I want to propose to her.
I want Her to be surprised... not just waiting for me to propose to Her.
So my dilema is this... She now has a good idea it is comming at some point, and I highly supect She will think it is just prior to, or during out European trip this spring. So since I made sure She gets what She wants, how do I still surprise Her?
At this ponit I am sure She will be looking for it, maybe not expecting it, but looking for it at every major holiday and event until then... so are there lesser know special days I could sneak it in? Or should I just pick a random day and just do it? After all in the real world reality of things, when I propose it is just another day, but She remembers everything, so it would be nice if there was a special secondary significance of the day I did it.
I guess in a nutshell my need to make sure She is happy overrode my need to surprise Her. Now I want to claim that suprise element back.
Better to be the more perfect place, or more of a surprise? Any thoughts?
