Ok my ideal proposal to my girlfriend of 3 years would be to take her back to the beach were we saw our first sunset on our first date. The ideal part for me would be a two prong effort.
The difficult problem would be on coordinating what I want there to be there. Since my love for her has bloomed through the time and experiences shared in those 3 years, friends and family have played a key role from everyone loving her and making us feel welcomed into thier lives so I would like to continue this by including all our close friends and family to this experience and official beginning of our future lives.
The way I''d like them to share the experience with us is set up a large outdoor tent that is basically a canopy top with no sides so they can relax but be far enoug away that they wouldn''t distract her view and obviously recognize them from afar, but so they could all see when I get down on my knee and let her know that there is no one else I would rather spend the rest of my life''s sunsets with than her or something to that effect (trying to end our courting where we began it...that whole circle thing). That way after they see me put the ring on her finger they could all come and greet us or we walk to them. I think sharing that moment with those important to us would be an added bonus rather than just us two. Of course I would need to coordinate her folks flying in and some out of town friends coming in but i would cover the expenses for all of this.
Now I would also like to capture this moment since I think it would be nice to look back when we''re old(er) and gray and get a kick out of that special day. So I''d have to do a little acting on my part. I''d like to to want someone take our picture but of course I will have to forget to bring our digital camera so we''d have to use the camcorder''s digital camera mode, so I''d hand over the camera to a stranger (there''s always a good crowd there) and subtly tell them to just hold the camera while I''m ''showing them how to take a pic'' while she is waiting. So when I walk back to her I would simply walk up to her and get on bended knee and let her know how I feel and ask for her hand in marriage.
I know it may sound complicated but for her I would do that and more to make it ever so special for her.
