The 1st anniversary is coming up at the end of July. I was planning to make the proposal on that day, probably by taking her to a hedge maze and having her "find" me in it. We live in Tasmania, Australian and the maze I was planning to do it at is also not far from one big tourist drawcard here, Cradle Mountain which I where I was planning on booking us in for the evening. This I think would also make for a romantic settting, especially if there is snow. The weekend before is her birthday so I was thinking of using that as cover for taking her on a weekend getaway.
So the idea is set, but I have a couple of other things to sort out. 1. Being the ring and 2. That her parents will be on an international cruise.
I can definitely ask for their blessing before they leave, though I wonder if her mother can keep it to herself. Would it be bad form to do it while they are away?
With the ring I'm pretty confident in choosing a good stone and I know she doesn't want a round but prefers princess, asscher, radiant, cushion, ie, squarer shapes. My problem is with the setting, I know she wants something unique but I have to figure out what her idea of that is and time is quickly running out. White gold or platinum it will be, to me unique is modern/tension set or something like a halo?
