When Frank and I first chatted about his proposal plans, he mentioned wanting to do it somewhere quiet, preferably somewhere wooded since he knew his girlfriend of seven years, Rona, would appreciate it.

Luckily, they were actually staying at the Fairmont Hotel, which was fantastic because its beautiful garden with a sweeping view of the San Francisco skyline was just a short walk from their room!
