I'm going to be proposing on the 29th of this month. She won a "fancy date" from me in a card game a few weeks ago, so she's expecting to go to a nice restaurant and maybe do something beforehand.
I plan on starting with breakfast in bed, then I'm going to send her to a spa for a few hours in the morning. It'll help set the mood for the day and it'll give me a chance to get some things ready. After her massage, I'm picking her up and taking her to the Norton Simon Museum.
We are both artists, and on a trip through Europe last year we each drew pictures before visiting the major museums and hid them (we have our work in The Louvre!) Quite often, we'd sketch our pictures at the museum (in the garden or wherever). I'll suggest that we do it again at the Norton Simon. But I'm going to have a finished piece of art ready to swap out for my sketch when the time comes. Throughout the Europe trip, I always sketched something that had happened between us during the course of our travels. This time, I'll present her with "Chris Proposes Marriage at the Norton Simon."
After she says yes (I hope!), we'll stash the picutes in a secret place then get into a limo (champagne on board) and head down to the Ritz Carlton at Laguna Niguel.
I've made dinner reservations for that night at the Ritz (the only 5 star restaurant I could find that offers a vegetarian menu), as well as booking a room for the weekend. I've requested the rose petal turn-down service and chocolate covered strawberries for us. I've also rented a covertable to get aroud in while we're there. I'll find out what she plans on wearing to diner before she goes to the spa, so I can pack it (along with everything else she'll need) and take it to the limo before I pick her up for the museum.
On Sunday, we'll probably lounge around in the morning and either go windsurfing or take a trip to the San Diego Zoo in the afternoon. I'm open to other suggestions for Sunday if anyone knows the area, also, any advice on where to go to dinner Sunday night would be very helpful.
If anyone has suggestions or observations, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, and sorry this post is so long.
