...if there is such a thing.


My name is Josh and I live in Ft. Lauderdale. I moved here just a few months ago and I’m still getting to know the area and still getting on my feet financially. Anyway, my girlfriend who lives in S. Carolina is coming down for the first two weeks in Dec. and I really want to show her a nice time. She is the oldest of 6 and she doesn’t get “the princess treatment” very often considering she goes to school, works, and takes care of her brother and sisters.


She just modeled in a fashion show in Charleston and fell in love with one of the evening gowns she modeled. She is going to see if the designer will let her have it. If she does I would like to take her out for a gorgeous evening in Miami. I’ve been looking around online and I’ve found a great idea. http://www.islandqueencruises.com/gondola (broken link) I’d like to try to do this after dinner though. This is where I’m having a hard time. I’d like to try and find a nice quiet place where I can wear a nice suit (I wish I had a tuxedo) and she can wear her gown and not feel out of place. If there is dancing that would be a plus, just as long as the music doesn’t interfere with conversation. The only snag is that I don’t have much money. The most I can look at spending on dinner is $150. In all honesty I can’t afford that, but I really want this to be special for her.


If anybody has a place they know of that kind of fits the description I would VERY much appreciate the help.


And if anybody is wondering, I’m 23 and she’s 24.


Thanks

forget island queen cruises...I highly recommend Gondola Rides | Tours in Ft. Lauderdale, FL | Gondolier Mike Ask for MIKE ! I will shoot him an email to see if he can give you a discounted rate. Regular rate is 125.00 Have fun ! Remember to buy a bottle of wine at Stork's where the gondola is located and take it onboard with you. You can also buy some cheese and crackers. The gondola through the ft.lauderdale intercoastal is so romantic, serene and breath taking. They play Italian music and your girl will feel like a million bucks ! I know for a fact that Storks has live music too on weekend nights....so you are set ! Have fun !

thanks. I'll definetly look into it. Is there a place nearby where we could have dinner that we wouldn't be dressed too formally? That's a really important part of the whole evening. She never gets to dress up and I want this to be very special for her.

Not sure..ask around...Im sure someone here will chime in. There is always Capitol Grill or Morton's (one of the two) across the street, but that is way out of your budget.
