Setting up

Light a few candles, dim the lights BUT NOT TOO MUCH. Have the table set with dinner all prepared. Offer a drink and take care of your loved one. Have music playing in the background. It doesn’t have to

be sappy love songs. Personally songs I like cute, upbeat but romantic songs like :

GOOD LUCK!
