After 5 1/2 years the time has nearly come. I got the go ahead to start finding my diamonds. (I''m picking my loose diamonds and a custom setting). The problem is that he is super UNromantic. His idea of how to give me the ring is probably when we go pick it up at the jeweler (no way am I leaving it to him to make sure my diamonds weren''t damaged or anything during setting) he''ll hand it to me and say "here you go". I''m not kidding. Romance is not his strong area.
I really want it to be special though. How can I tell him exactly what I want and still keep it special?
My dream proposal:
I get a single long stem red rose delivered to my office every day for a week. Each one with a note from him. "I love you because...", "You are beautiful", "You are intelligent", "You are caring", "You make me happy" etc.
And then we have a dinner in a private room at some nice place. Another red rose on the table. A deliciously gooey chocolate cake for dessert with a nice wine. And then he asks.
Of course he could alter this a bit. Maybe more roses in the private room with dinner. Maybe a nice outdoor picnic thing (if the weather was nice -- we live near Seattle).
I''m finding the diamonds & setting. Dealing with the jeweler. Telling him what the inscription should be.
I''d like to have a little surprise left.
Any advice?
