Top off a romantic evening with candles

Candles are widely known as mood setters, but when used uniquely candles can transfer an amazing evening into an enchanting evening that will never be forgotten. If you have romance on your mind and want to create the perfect evening, you may want to take a page from one guy’s romantic book in which he created an evening that not only charmed his girlfriend, but won her heart forever.

Ted knew that his girlfriend missed her home state of Hawaii widely, but due to the high prices of airfare she was not able to visit for several years. So instead, he decided to create a widely creative date in which he would bring Hawaii to her by transforming his backyard patio into the beach side.

Ted purchased a large amount of sand to place around his hot tub in a heart shape and then placed shells in a heart shape around the tub. Inside of each shell he placed tealight candles that he told her represented the energy and spirit of the seashore that she missed from home. He also told her that each flame was meant to symbolize the flickering waves that washed up on the shoreline.

He filled the hot tub with 365 red floating candles and stated they represented the days she would have to spend with him before she could go home. Then he asked her to slowly blow out each candle to symbolize how quickly the days would pass as long as they shared them together. When only one candle was left, he pulled out a ring box and stepped down on his knee in hot tub and told her that on the last day of the year, she would head home with him because they would be married along the shoreline of her home if she would have him. Needless to say, she quickly blew out the last candle, said yes, and jumped into his arms.

Now every year on their anniversary they light a candle for each year they have spent together and let them burn the entire night to symbolize their everlasting love.
