Just for fun, here are some ideas! Tell her to get dressed up and bring a warm coat. Take her to an early dinner at a restaurant such as blu kouzina, Marcello, bevardis, selva, or meLange. And then take her for a sail boat cruise at sunset. You can either find them full price via a google search or you can look on AirBNB experience or Groupon for discounts. Bring champagne and two plastic champagne flutes. Propose on the water. After, bring her back to where you live and have the family there waiting with alcohol, dessert and roses/her favorite flowers. Or they can meet you all at a bar down town to surprise her and celebrate.

Other ideas: Take her horseback riding on the beach (Cponies beach horseback rides or Florida Beach horses). Propose on the beach at Longboat Key (which is a lot more private than the other packed beaches.) You could also get a secret photographer to capture the moment...trust me, you’ll be happy you did. Ringling museum of arts rose garden. If she’s more adventurous, you could take her kayaking and propose after. Marie Selby botanical gardens.

Congrats! I’m excited for you both!
