Hello,
I was hoping to get some feedback on what you guys/gals thought of my proposal idea.
Our 5 year anniversary since we started dating is coming up in July and I thought that might be the perfect excuse to go away for a small weekend roadtrip (she wants to be suprised but she''s got an idea this might be coming). I was thinking of going out to the east coast along the New Jersey shoreline which is supposed to be really nice. There''s lots of cool oceanside B & B''s in beautiful old Victorian houses which I thought might be a romantic way to spend a weekend. While there, I have found a place that does sailboat charters which will take you out for a private sunset cruise and serve you a gourmet dinner while watching the sunset. I thought this would be memorable since we have went out sailing several times over the course of our relationship and those have always been special times and we both really love the water. Then after dinner I plan to give her a scrapbook I am currently working on, which will detail some of the significant times that we''ve had during our 5 years together. I have managed to keep some mementos of various things (ie. like tickets to shows, love notes, etc) that I am putting in it as well as lots of photos. The big reason for doing this is she loves to scrapbook (its not really my favorite thing in the world) so I think this will be really meaningful to her. Then at the end of looking through the book, get down on one knee and propose to her as the sun is setting - if the weather cooperates. Hopefully, if she says yes, we can crack open a bottle of champagne and cruise into the sunset!!!
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
gman
