A Sneaky And Fun Marriage Proposal!

By Edward Jacobsen

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 girlfriend was not really into it at first, as we had planned to have dinner at a restaurant in town. I told her that I thought we could actually win the treasure hunt so she started getting more involved. We set off to find the first clue and found it pretty easily (wink wink). She was getting excited every time we found another clue.

At one point she sees another couple with a flier in hand appearing that they were looking for clues too. Perfect, the competition was on as my fiance is very competitive. Soon we were next to the last clue leading us to the beach.

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.

As we headed towards the beach let by the final clue, I was getting excited about the proposal and still acting out the treasure hunt. We scoped out the area for a love plant as the clue indicated. It seemed hopeless since it was now dark and the beach was spacious. I directed the hunt near the philodendron plant and called her over to say it looked like a love plant. She was skeptical and wanted to look higher up.

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.
