Make Your Proposal A Lasting Memory Of Your Marriage

My future wife and I had been in need of a getaway in an urgent way. Our busy lives were taking a toll on both of us. What she didn’t know was that I was planning this trip for over a year to propose to her in an exciting and fun way.

I’m sure you are thinking that proposing on the beach in a tropical wonderland would be romantic enough, but I was planning something even more spectacular. This would be a memory for a lifetime.

I told my love that the hotel was having a treasure hunt for the guests. I had went all over the resort and hidden my clues beforehand. One clue would point to the next and so on. It was perfect to get her interested.

My fiance at first was a little irritated about this impromptu game as we were expected for dinner and it was getting late. She was a good sport and I was insistent on winning the treasure hunt. Off we went for the first clue, then the second. Each clue was a big seek and find moment. Clue after clue the excitement was building.

I got really lucky at one point. We saw another group of people looking for something in our general area and my girlfriend made the connection that they must be looking for clues also. She was determined to beat them and picked up the pace even more.

I was careful that afternoon to plant, in a little clay heart shaped box, the engagement ring. I buried in the sand with a philodendron plant as a marker. I could only hope no one saw me bury it and would uncover the diamond ring.

We approached the beach my heart began to boom in my chest. The game had made me totally forget that I was about to propose to my girlfriend. The second to last clue had told us to look for a small plant on the beach in front of the bar area. We were in the dusk now and it was really hard to see. I kept leading her in the right direction even though she thought it was the other way.

As we stumblrd in the near dark I began to coax her towards where the plant was. I finally had to move towards it and yell that I thought I had found it. She scrambled over and picked up the plant and examined it. I told her to dig a little under where it had been. She did and found the box pretty easily. I sauntered onto one knee and when she opened the box I popped the question. She was dumbfounded and began to cry. She looke d at me and smiled and said yes I will marry you. It was a remarkable and fun proposal.
