The Plan

The Preparation

  • Buy or create a lottery scratcher of “Will You Marry Me”. Buy a few real ones as well. (She loves scratchers)
  • Buy a fake ring because she WILL say “No” as a joke because that’s how she is.
  • Need Fireworks. Research NYC 2012 Fireworks schedule. Compare dates with An’s work schedule where she’s off both days of the weekend.
  • Purchase a champagne based on The Wine Trials top 10 list.
  • Schedule selected date with Activities and Food. Utilize Groupons/Google Offer when applicable to throw off scent.
  • A month prior to go-time, start taking An out every weekend to set precedence.
