Here’s Your Engagement Itinerary…
My friend is in law school and was flying to D.C. to interview with prospective employers. His girlfriend went with him.
As they were driving to the airport, he asked her to get a road map out of a manila envelope he’d put in the back seat. Inside the envelope, instead of a road map, was a folder–nicely bound by Kinko’s, very official-looking that said “X and Y’s engagement itinerary.”
She of course started freaking out. They had to pull off to the side of the road so he could give here the ring and they could be emotional and call the people that they felt had to be called at that very moment. Instead of going to D.C. to interview (this had been a ruse) they were going to an expensive hotel in D.C.
He’d made reservations for three or four consecutive nights at great restaurants in the city, and planned out a week’s worth of romantic drives and side trips–they went to wineries, museums and so forth; he’d even arranged to have her parents drive up from Virginia one afternoon so that they could all have lunch together. Every night when they got back to their hotel room, her favorite bottle of wine was waiting. Not a bad week for everyone concerned.
