Here's a summary of how my fiance proposed to me. Maybe you will get some ideas:
Greg had told me that he was being sent to Orlando for work, and he asked me to come along with him. Since we hadn't been able to take a vacation this year because of his busy schedule, he figured this would be a nice way for me to take a trip with him, even though he had to work. (Or so he said!) So, we flew down to Florida on Saturday, September 7, 2002.
When we were driving to our hotel (he had written out fake directions to some Sheraton for me to read), he took what I thought was a wrong turn, and followed the exit signs to Walt Disney World. I was saying, "Where are you going?! What's going on?!" He just had a big smile on his face and told me that he didn't have to work, and that we would be staying at Disney for a few days. I couldn't believe it!
A few minutes later, we pulled up to the Grand Floridian. We had always wanted to stay there. It was like a dream! The room was gorgeous, with a view of the Magic Kingdom, including Cinderella's Castle and Space Mountain. He told me he had made reservations for dinner that night at Victoria and Albert's, the Grand Floridian's five star gourmet restaurant. It was just one surprise after another!
So, we dressed and went to dinner. The restaurant was small, elegant, and romantic. They serve a seven course meal, which was delicious, and lasted about 3 hours. We had such a nice time there, just eating and talking. I still couldn't believe we were at Disney World!
After we finished dessert, the harpist played our song, "The Way you Look Tonight." Then the waitress came over to our table with a silver platter with a dome. She said it was a special surprise for me, and she put it down in front of me and lifted the dome off. I couldn't believe my eyes! There was a bed of roses and rose petals on the platter, with the most beautiful diamond ring I had ever seen sitting in an open box in the middle. I was completely in shock. My hands flew up over my mouth, my eyes teared up and I just sat there looking at it, and at Greg. He couldn't speak for a while either. Then, he got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. Of course, I said yes.
Afterwards, the staff all came over to congratulate us, and they showered us with gifts of chocolate and roses.
