Hi Diego,

There are some corrections to be done:

My love, I loved everything you sent me at Easter...
Could I consider what you sent me in the photo, a proposal???

Lily,
At first, I disagree about 'at Easter', I think the right preposition is 'on' in this case.
At second, I saw you prefer 'a proposal', I don't mind, but I think 'a marriage proposal' is clearer.
Finally, about 'loved' and 'adored' I guess they are almost the same and I could've kept 'adored'... but you are the boss...

By the way, I like your new picture!

Hi Diego,

Prepositions are always confusing, aren't they?
But when we are referring to special holidays like Christmas or Easter, we should write them in capitals and use the preposition "at".
I don't prefer a "proposal", it is the correct word used to mean "proposta de casamento".
And finally, there is a slight difference between "love" and "adore".
We can use either "love" or "adore" to refer to a person, for in this case they mean almost the same, but in this text the person is referring to "things" he liked a lot, not to someone. See what I mean?
We don't "adore" things, unless they are images of idols.
By the way, you should choose to use "everything" or "what" in that sentence, not both of them.

And I'm not "the boss", just someone trying to help you improve your skills.

Fine! These changes were made but I kept 'marriage proposal'. What do you think?

Folks,

The second sentence seems a bit confusing to me, due to the order of its elements. What if "Could I consider a (marriage) proposal what you sent me in the photo?"

That comma Diego forgot is causing you all that confusion, Goncin. Otherwise, the sentence is pretty clear.
