So, I have the ring (sort of). I am ready to propose, but I really am not very good at coming up with a plan... maybe you guys can help?
I don''t have a lot of money to put towards the actual proposal, but I have a few ideas that maybe I can turn into a nice day for both of us.
First, our 3 year (dating) anniversary is on the 1st of September - Luckily, she will have the day off, but I am scheduled to work. I am going to convince my boss to let me take the day off, but not tell her. She will be expecting to be by herself most of the day, but instead I will surprise her by telling her that I don''t have to go in!
I then plan to take her to the nearby art museum, and possibly the zoo, for a bit of fun day-time entertainment for us both.
In the evening, I plan to take her to her favorite restaurant. I don''t want to propose at dinner, because I''m definitely not the public proposal type.
My problem is how to end the evening... we could drive to a nice view of the city, and have a romantic setting where I somehow get out of the car and propose to her on the passenger side? or possibly, we could come home and I could give her a relaxing massage, stopping half way through to propose to her next to the bed? I think the first idea may be too dark to see the ring in all of it''s sparkly glory, but I kind of like it. The second idea, I am only concerned that she wouldn''t want to be in a semi-dressed state when accepting the ring... What are your thoughts? What are some other good ways I could end the evening and/or get down on my knee and profess my love? I am stumped.
