The Proposal

I was in San Diego all week for business and had my GF fly down for the weekend. I booked a hotel on Coronado Island called the Loews Coronado Bay Resort. My original plan was to propose while we took a Gondola Boat ride at sunset. Sadly I had to revert to "Plan B" because of possible rain. While at the hotel eating lunch, I suggested to my GF that she get a nice massage at the SPA. I told her I was sleepy and wanted to take a nap (white lie). On her way down I quickly called the SPA, told them I was going to propose a bit later and could they tell my GF she would receive a free manicure and nail painting after the massage. They happily accepted.
Our Hotel room had a beautiful view of Coronado Bridge and the Bay so I wanted this as the back drop. I set a big comfortable chair with blanket, a beautiful bouquet of roses and sprinkled rose petals out on the patio. I also setup a video camera because I felt it would be great for us to watch during our anniversary every year. I also had room service deliver Champagne and Chocolate Covered Strawberries. So far "plan B" was going smoothly :))
The SPA called to advise she was heading back up to the room. I put a scarf in my back pocket and waited by the door. She greeted me all chit chatty about getting a free manicure ;)). She tried heading further into the room but I held her in a big hug and told her how much I was in Love with her. I then looked into her eyes and said "Honey, I need you to trust me for just a few minutes ok?" She was like "ummm...sure but whats up?" I said "just trust me" and pulled out the scarf and told her it was a surprise.
I led her to the patio, facing the bay and took the scarf off. I held her from behind and said I wanted us to just look at the view and soak it in because this is a moment we would want to en-grain in our memories forever. It was an incredible moment and one that makes me tear to think about it. I then turned her around and said "Sit here" It was then that she saw the roses and video camera and for the first time came to realize what I was about to do. I then went down on one knee, told her a bunch of stuff I will keep private and proposed. Later we shared the Champagne and Strawberries then went to a fabulous dinner at Mister A's (unbelievable views of the city and fantastic food!). Well that's our story. :D Here are a few pics of the proposal and some hand shots of my Fiancee's ring.

Congratulations! The photos brought tears to my eyes. May you have a wonderful wedding and a happy marriage.
And the ring...stunning. Well done!
 
What a lovely future husband you are! It is those small details and planning that at least for me were the most important thing. The ring looks lovely on her hand, did she like the symbolism of the three diamonds?
 
What a beautiful proposal and a stunning ring! Wow, I love the 3 sided pave and the rest of the details, so blingy, I don't think you need to worry about getting a matching band with that.

Congratulations!
 
What a beautiful proposal and beautiful ring. Congratulations to you both. May you both have a lifetime of happiness together.
