Title: Need help planning my engagement
Post by: Ticktanic on March 23, 2009, 06:06:19 PM
Greetings and salutations!  Newbie to the forum here, but I am looking for info from anyone that can help me out.  I'm planning/scheming to arrange to propose to my girlfriend at the Festival coming up in May.  Any thoughts or ideas on how best to do this?  (on stage of some kind would be preferred.)  Many thanks in advance!

Perhaps you can speak with the Court Guild managers and conspire something with the Queen or something there. 

It's advisable to be 100% sure she'd say yes anyway, and not that she'd feel put on the spot and feel obligated to say yes before you really do a public proposal.  Just saying.

I am the Court GM and I think that would be a PERFECT way to do it!  If you are interested, you can PM me and we'll work out the details!

Reese I love the way your mind works. And I do agree with you and Master James both that proposing at court would be a an excellent idea.

And then there is always the Labyrinth. The two of you taking the first steps of your new journey into the labyrinth, you propose at the center, maybe to the gentle sounds of recorders nearby, and then exit on to Court for the formal announcement, complete with Trumpet fanfare.

I guess it depends on how public you want the actual proposal to be.

Just some thoughts.

Cheers

Excellent idea Scott. Trumpet fanfare and all would be an excellent idea for the happy couple.

See, here everyone's being all mushy and romantic. What was the first thing that came to my damaged little mind for this?  COURT OF LOVE!!!  Muahahahaha!!!

OH, OH Master B. I LOVE that idea.  Perhaps one of our "new" musicians can be sitting on the bench in the shade and playing their "romantic" music quietly whilst they stroll through the labyrinth and such...this way it's a private proposal *just in case*, yet very romantic like...then off to Court for the fan-faire  announcement if she says yes. 

FG...I wouldn't have thought of the Court of Love (I'm not a huge fan of it, but I must admit I've only seen bits and pieces of it here and there), but it's another option if a public proposal is wanted, with a twist of humor.

If they come the days I'm there, I should have my lute. . .   
Doesn't get much more romantic than that!

I agree with you there troubadude. Nothing says romance more than a lute does my friend.
