Before this past Saturday, I have never asked a man for his daughters hand in marriage, very very scary. My hands were shaking for about 5 minutes after I did it, and I'm usually a very laid back and calm person! Well, I got a very welcomed blessing, which brings me to this post:
I want to propose sometime next week and haven't been able to lock down a good idea. I've had a few good ones, but I tend to overanalyze and obsess to make sure things will be perfect and foolproof (especially when it comes to my GF)
She's made it very clear that she A) doesn't want a proposal in public and, B) has no need for a big production. Still, I want her to have a great memory to cherish because she really deserves it.
There is a unique opportunity that I'd like to exploit, but I'm not sure how or if there's any way to make it better. My girlfriend has an apartment on the top floor of her parents house, with double doors that lead out to a balcony style porch. My basic idea is to somehow(
) get her to go onto the porch then I'll read her a love letter that I wrote myself, after she says yes, I'd climb up (maybe after stashing one of these) and present her the ring in the box.
Comments, tweaks, changes, additions are VERY MUCH NEEDED and welcomed!

EDIT: A good friend of mine is a photographer with professional equipment and volunteered take stealth pictures of the proposal where/whenever it's planned to be. If I do this at sundown, that could make for some nice surprise pictures later on.
