she said yes!
It took weeks of planning but it was all worth it.
What I did was I bought a 25 piece puzzle and put it together. On the back of the puzzle I wrote a message. Everyday I dropped off 5 pieces of the puzzle for her in an evelope for 5 days at her job. At the end of the week (Friday) she had the entire puzzle with a message about going on an adventure Saturday written on the back. I included a compass and a treasure map I made with my artistic talent... I have about as much as a first grader :laugh: I was able to age it to look like a really old map using tea, a lighter and tearing it along the edges. I also gave her the first clue to find the first item. She had to find 10 items, each one leading to the next. Each item represented something in our relationship and what she means to me. The treasure hunt took place at The Japanese Garden in Houston and it was very serene.. with 2 small ponds, small waterfall, little creeks, some ducks, rabbits and squirrels running around. Very beautiful place. At the end of the treasure she found a treasure box filled with fake gold coins, jewelery and a mirror. Attached to the mirror a message said "look in the mirror and there you will find the most beautiful and valuable treasure in the world". I also left an envelope in the treasure box with dinner reservations and to dress formal.
I picked her up for dinner and brought her a dozen white roses.... She looked stunning!
I tooke her to an upscale Italian restaurant called Sorrento's Ristorante Italianowere we ate a 5 course Italian dinner. The food was excellent. Afterwards I took her to an 8 story water wall in Houston called the Williams Waterwall. There we walked around after which I got down on one knee and proposed. It was awesome. We went back to my place to celebrate!
Edit: Added Pics of my loved one!
