It is getting closer to the special moment. I have a few ideas for a proposal, but I haven’t been able to decide on one. Here are my two favorites:
Idea 1: Pizza. We both love pizza. We went out for pizza on our first date. The first time we had dinner where it was just us and her 2 year old son, whom I’m crazy about, was going out for pizza. We have had some really fun times making pizza at home together. So as strange (or possibly cheesy?) as it sounds, pizza has been an important part of our relationship.
My idea is to spell out “Marry me?” with toppings on a pizza. One idea was to talk to the owner at the restaurant where out first date happened and have them bring out a pizza with that spelled on it, but it is not exactly a romantic place. The other idea was do it at home. Tell her I am going to make a special pizza just for her.
I love this idea because it is something simple yet meaningful to us. One big problem is logistical. I would really like to be down on one knee and it might be tricky to coordinate it so that she sees it around the same time I am down holding the ring. Any ideas on this one would be appreciated.
Idea 2: She just shared with me yesterday that she would like to go and get Christmas Card photos taken us and her son. I think it is a great idea, and it could be a chance to catch her totally off guard. She will be racing around trying to make everything is perfect and everything looks right it would be the last thing she would be expecting.
My idea would be to talk to the photographer beforehand and see if they can have an extra photographer there too. Then in the process have them do some different poses. Near then end have them pose me down low or even on my knees. I’m quite a bit taller than her, so it wouldn’t seem so strange. I could have the ring wrapped up as a prop present that they could have her son hold. Or just in my pocket.
I love this idea because of the hopefully great pictures that will come from it. The big issue I have with it is that I’d be relying on others to do a good job so it all goes smoothly. What can I say? I’m a control freak.
Feedback (both positive and negative) would be greatly appreciated.
