What do you all think?

I am Planning on asking my GF to marry me when we go away on holiday soon.
This is not my usual screen name because I just dont want to have the chance of her seeing it.

What you you girls think of this proposal idea?

If I get someone at the hotel we are staying at to layout rose petals on the bed to spell out "will you marry me" (or something shorter)
Then I can get them to do that when we go out for a meal then when we come back to the hotel I will make sure she walks in to the room first and as she sees that I can be behind her with the ring on one knee.

So anyone think its a good idea? I was thinking about somewhere more public but I think the place I had in mind would be too cheesy.

    I dunno. You're relying on someone you don't know to get something pretty big right for you. Plus, the air con might come on and blow them about. It's romantic and a lovely idea. Just thinking practically.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

  • yes I can see what you mean about letting someone else do it but I cant think of another way to do it without using a member of hotel staff.

    I guess the aircon could be a problem, but I would doubt it would be that strong. :confused:

    I think its a beautiful idea. I'd ask a member of the hotel staff and make sure you write down what you want.

    If you are staying abroad could you use sea shells instead? would solve the aircon problem

    I think that is a lovely idea,very romantic.I'm not keen on public proposals,I like it to be more intimate with just the 2 of you.
    I'm sure whatever you decide it will be more romantic than my DH's proposal,I was sat on a filthy swivell chair in the stockroom full of boxes,he came in,spun me round,said 'I love you,will you marry me' I was screaming at the force of the spinning,said 'yes' then promptly fell off the chair into the boxes,boss came in and thought it best not to take any action.

    I think that is lovely, so romantic.
    Go for it.
    If everyone cared and nobody cried, if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride then we'd see the day when nobody died.
