Dream proposal

PearlsNLace · 05-24-2010, 07:09 PM

I suppose its silly. After all, Im the girl who doesnt even like parties for my birthday because Im uncomfortable with all the focus on me.

However, ever since I was a tyke I wanted a big fuss proposal.

During Grad Night at DisneyLand in 1992 I decided that the BEST place to be proposed to was under the arbor in that park.

But the whole resturaunt proposal Ive seen in movies melts me every time too.

Beach at sunset? FREAKIN AWESOME.

I have been proposed to in a dining room ( I said no, ugh that was a heartwrenching moment- and the right decision. That individual is happily married at the wedding pics looked AWESOME)
I have been proposed to in a bathroom ( I said yes, and even though we are no longer married, i dont regret the time she and I had together)

These experiences have led me to agree that it shouldnt really be a suprise.
But its sort of like ordering a very good meal. Sure, you know what your going to get, cause you ordered it. But there is a difference if its wrapped like a burrito vs on fine china with an artistic layout and fancy cutlery and a pressed napkin on your lap. Presentation really matters for me. The food could be amazing in taste and texture. But if it looks good, then its no longer just a meal. It is an event to remember. Its about being PRESENT, mindful, thoughtful with attention to detail, and done with PURPOSE.
