<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

So I had an idea for a book but I wanted some feedback.  I am a guy and I am married.  Like many guys or girls who have been in a relationship we try at some point to do something romantic that takes a lot of time and effort.  Whether it's a surprise trip, birthday present, marriage proposal, or just a random surprise.  We envision how the events will unfold in our  mind and we go and execute our surprise, only to have everything go horrible wrong.   I want to write a book that is a collection of stories of how gift giving has gone wrong.  

For instance when I proposed to my wife I had set up before hand a picnic on the beach with candles and champagne at sunset.  When I go to get my wife for a walk on the beach, she throws every excuse at me and had to practically beg her to go on a beach walk.  Once I get her on the beach and we get to our spot I had previously prepared  she stood their arguing with me how this was someone else picnic and not ours.  By the time I had convinced her that this was indeed our spot the sun was about to set completely.  After we sat things got completely dark and we could barely see each other.  I did not think to check whether there was going to be a moon out that night.  So after some time I finally get the nerve to ask her to marry me and I pull out the ring, but because it was so dark she freaked at first and knocked the ring box out of my hand having the ring fall into the sand.  I took about an hour to find the ring but that is my story on gift gone wrong.
<bot>: asked set up a plan to ask my wife, fought me the whole way, and almost lost the ring in the sand.
