I was trying to think of what kind of dinner party a human would throw for friends who wanted to propose.
First, I'd say, you will not propose at the dinner table. If you want to make an occasion proposal, like in a stadium or a rock concert, go do that far away from The Dinner Table.
No cell phones or cameras at The Dinner Table. I'm not going to have to ask you to put them in this basket by the front door, am I?
I'd have a butler/caterer's dude in charge of the champagne bottle to make sure people I know are problem drinkers get one glass before and two max with dinner. No bottle unattended.
Dinner would end at 10 pm when I arose to take the ladies to the drawing room for coffee. Butler-attended glass of port for the gentlemen (and the ladies).
Other than that, I would have done something a little more personal menu and table decor wise. Canadians have fab food and it would be interesting to get French caterers to make some, playing with French Canadian and Acadian and Cajun flavors. Caterers love that outre mers thing, and the French are especially effective at it. Pay them to enjoy their work. Flowers and settings on the dearest ring theme, that would be nice. Sweet peas, roses, come in those colors. And, no bouquet more than titty high, you'd think Permacreep would know that. Seven small bouquets, one for each gem in the dearest ring?
What the eff is an Alice in Wonderland theme for an engagement party? Down the rabbit hole? This is not a celebration of marital love. Unless Sarah requested it personally -- no, I still would have suggested just love and roots as the theme. At my Dinner Table.

Can’t they afford a parasol?
He reminded me of a geisha.
