Well after two weeks I am finally going to share how it came down.Here is my proposal.It began with Grace being upset at me for not proposing yet.In my defense I proposed 5 months after I started getting paid.Anyway.After church and a few more hours of practicing the violin I pick up Grace and we head for Manhattan Beach.Before that I had dropped off Phil (camera man), Errol (Video Camera man), my bro (volunteer) and finally my volunteer (the violinist).
They were sent to dig out a heart shape in the sand and to lace it with candles and rose petals.Which we had procured earlier. 
Things were not going to plan due to the wind and finding a suitable place to set up.Grace and I were running late in getting to the site in which the guys were setting up.
As we walked into the beach Grace spots Phil 20 feet away.We had walked in the wrong direction.We had walked in from the back instead of the front.Even though she spotted Phil she did not know that I was going to propose.It was not until she saw the heart in the sand and my volunteer Josh.
So it begins w/my volunteer playing the first two measures of Pachelbel's Canon in D.Then I got my violin and played the whole song.Grace instead of being romanticized by my efforts she started cracking up b/c she didn’t know that I use to play the violin.She was also cracking up b/c of all the cameras.She felt very uncomfortable with all the people around us and with Phil and Errol filming.I was not able to play the song due to the strong winds.Well I finally finished playing the song and then I got on my knees and proposed.It wasn’t the most prepared and romantic proposal but she said yes.
Even though I had proposed already Phil and Errol suggested taking more pictures b/c so much effort was put into putting the heart together.Also we had so much tape time left that they suggested us to use as much film as well.We also wanted to light the candles when the wind dies down.Due to all these conditions I ended up proposing 4 times.What made it really funny was a bunch of high school girls told us to wait and while they call their friend to come over and what me propose.We told them that she already said “Yes” but we just wanted to catch it on tape.
As the proposal process progressed Grace thought of 4 silly conditions to put on me.First one was that I could not drive aggressively.Second I could not eat buffet for a year with Phil, Joe Nasraway and Nelson.Also with any other buffet friendly people. Third I can only have one yin yearn (coffee mixed with tea and milk.My favorite drink)Lastly I cannot have steak w/my hands.By now I was getting a little annoyed b/c I wanted to spend sometime alone with my fiancée .I went along with it so that I could be a good sport.
Well instead of being romantic it was very comical.That is how it happened.There were a lot of mistakes.In my next entry I’ll share how it should have went and what went wrong.Here is the link to the pictures of the proposal. Enjoy
