One Chick, one proposal, lost ring!

So let's cut to the chase as to why I'm pimping out my secret "proposal" to my husband. 7 years ago, we had a incredibly unfortunate event which caused us to separate along with two children under 3. We have worked through incredibly hard situations and through the ups and downs of the series of events, a wedding ring was lost. Though to be honest, its more deserving to say the ring was "thrown out". Now, flash forward to 2017, our marriage is stronger and more loving then it could have been pre-7 years ago and I have a husband who always finds a way to surprise me with thoughtful gifts or words and its time I do more of that on a grander scale! He hasn't said a thing about a not having a ring until recently, about how wonderful it would be to bear the token again to the world. We are solid and it needs to be proclaimed! :) So why don't I just go buy a ring- well, our finances are joined and nothing can stay "secret" in the charge card world. I don't have the ability to pay cash- because again, we are joined at the hip and I want this to NOT be known. He is always figuring out every surprise and for just once- I want to succeed at that, especially asking him to "re-marry" me again!

I want to return that favor and orchestrate a entire night of romance at a fondue restaurant and all the add- on's they could supply me, along with the staff knowing this is about to happen. I have collected "my love is so big it has reached (state here)" notes from every single state in the US where I had to ask strangers to write me a love note and send me a photo of it. Its on small feat btw, to do this all via facebook and on the down low when messenger is always in your face! This will comprise of a book of all the photos and at the end, me on my knees in "MN" professing my love, how we have come full circle as a couple and with that I will give him his new ring in hopes he will renew with me! I feel for you fellas, as planning this isn't so small. I would appreciate the help greatly- and to have him know I am trying to be creative in doing this behind his back and on my own, would mean the world to me. I will happily send photos/video of the event as well for all of you to be apart of that help me in this journey!
