SuRpRISES IN A SuITE

H

aving just celebrated Jordan’s 40th anniversary
throughout 2012, I couldn’t help but remember
a moment that started the path to many
anniversaries for two of our overnight guests.

Several years ago, I received a phone call from
a gentleman who worked at a restaurant that
served Jordan wines. He had a reservation to
stay overnight in one of our guest suites—and wanted to
propose to his girlfriend during their stay. He’d just needed
some help to create the perfect moment for her to say, “Yes.”
He said they had been together for six years and every year,
on the anniversary of their first date, he would hide photos of
the two of them together (taken throughout that past year)
and playfully send her on a hunt to find them. At the end of
the hunt, she would find what he called a “princess present.”
He wanted to keep with the tradition of the photo hunt and
asked if I could help. “Of course,” I replied, and the plan was

28

in motion. When the envelope of photographs arrived a few
days before their stay, I couldn’t stop smiling about such a
sweet, romantic gesture.
I spent a good hour in Suite 1, tucking pictures into every
nook and cranny I could find—the wood carving on a highback chair, the cushions on the couch, the robe hanging in the
bathroom, the bed comforter—the list went on and on.
Once the hunt was over and the “princess present” was
revealed, he called downstairs to give me a signal for the final
surprise. I’d made her a beautiful bouquet of her favorite
flowers as congratulations from all of us at Jordan, and handed
it to her in the doorway before slipping back downstairs to let
the blissful couple enjoy their first night engaged.
