A Modest Proposal

After watching the royal wedding many of our girlfriends are waiting on their prince for a ring of their own. But how can he possibly beat a proposal in Africa with an 18-karat sapphire sparkler?

The Place d’Armes Hotel and Birks have teamed up for the Dazzling Marriage Proposal package ($11,000) that includes two nights in a petal-strewn penthouse suite (appointed with a bottle of Moët & Chandon, a bouquet of roses and chocolate dipped strawberries), a six-course dinner with wine pairings at Aix Cuisine du Terroir, and a couples massage at Rainspa. Oh, did we mention that the Amorique diamond ring is included (value of $10,000, with option to upgrade)? The only question left for him to answer is how and when he’ll slip that sparkler on your finger.

BTW, we wouldn’t blame you at all if you happened to accidentally forward this email to your special guy.
