Good evening, I think I''ve decided how I am going to propose to the most fabulous woman on this earth. I have a plan, but I wanted to get some thoughts on what others thought and if there''s any issues with my proposal idea or any suggestions. I am going to be vague a little bit, just in case one of her friends is posting and figures it out.
Here''s the background: My GF (let''s call her M) and I have been dating for 3+ years. I''ve known for sometime that she was the one, but have been saving enough money to get her the perfect engagement ring.......one that she will keep and treasure for 50+ years. Well, I picked up the ring last Friday night so we are all good to go. M is a simple, smart, compassionate, yet eccletic girl. She''s a super sweet woman who''s told me she really wants to be in a private setting when the proposal occurs and she wants to be surprised. I''m also trying to keep this as secretive to her friends as I am to her (though they all know it''s inevitable).
Well, here''s my attempt.......M is going to a big city for a conference with work (approximately 4.5 hours from home). She is planned to be gone for over a week. In the mean time, I will be back home. Towards the end of the conference, I am planning to go to the city. After her day is over on the last day, I am planning for her to go back to her hotel to relax, workout, whatever. After she does that, I am assuming she will get ready for dinner that night. I, too, have reserved a separate room in the same hotel and will get it for a different floor and arrive before she gets back to the hotel. The hotel is a high-end hotel (4 stars), and one that I (being a simple guy) would usually never want to pay that much for. It overlooks the city or the water, whichever side you get.
After M has come back to the hotel, she will likely either go work out or relax or whatever. Her boss (who is also in the same hotel & is also in on the plan), is going to call M and ask for her help to get some boxes ready for their trip home or something. So M will head to her boss''s room. In the mean time, her boss will call me and make me aware. She will knock on the door. Instead of her boss, opening the door, it will be me opening the door. I will open the door to a hotel suite, invite her in. The room will be adorned with candles (is that allowed in a hotel?), rose petals, fresh cut flowers, and champagne. I will say something (haven''t prepared that), get on one knee, and ask her to marry me. After she says yes, I have brought her additional clothes, toiletries, jewelry, shoes for her to wear to a nicer dinner than she was expecting. We will spend the evening at a romantic restaurant. The next day I have asked her boss to allow her to take off. The rest of the day we are going to enjoy and relax. I''ve also, if she wants, rented the room for one more day. This will allow us to leave over the weekend and travel back home (she will travel with me). We do have two days to go visit her parents and family if she wants before Monday.
What do you think of the proposal?
My only worry is that M will not be as dressed up as she would like to be for her proposal. Do you think this is a big deal? She wants to look nice.
Any suggestions on improvements?
Any things that I should make sure not to forget?
Thanks for your help.
