In two days I will be proposing to
kittykehe. I was reading some accounts of other people's proposals, and am now starting to get a little nervous. Still not as bad as I did before when I was starting to set things in motion, but it's growing on me.
I had a last minute thought that I didn't have any flowers involved anywhere, so I am going to see if I can get a nice arrangement ordered tomorrow, to pick up before she gets home and hide. Then I can put it out on the way out. If nothing else, I can pick up roses at the grocery store, but that is a bit simplistic for such an occasion. I also considered scattering rose petals about, but probably not. I don't even know where to get rose petals.
I figure I'll get the ring out of the safe sometime tomorrow and put it in a drawer I can find it easily, and don't have to worry about getting it out on Saturday morning. Not that I expect a problem getting it out, but I figure better safe than sorry. On the bright side, I've gotten over my worries that she will not like the ring. It is really a lovely ring.
I got the pictures off my mom's camera of me working on the sign today. The finished picture doesn't really show off the immensitude of the sign. It's big. Really big. I just hope it's big enough for her to be able to read. If not, I can always ask her in person, of course.
For comparison, the plan I was working off of - each large square is 1 foot, each small square (Barely visible at this size) is 1 inch.
I guess I need to learn to make é in HTML for when I need to spell out fiancée. Girlfriend is easier to type, but in two days, hopefully she won't be just my girlfriend any longer.
