Where to pop the question

LegacyUser

Reading Simonster post "on ring or no ring when asking" got me thinking.

Where do you guys think the best places to get engaged.

I often think of foreign spots (romance of it I guess) such as Sydney near bridge, Paris effiel tower (sp?), New york (empire state building) - I know bit sad and predictable
But then think that we have some good places in ireland eg ring of kerry etc.

Any suggestions on what good places would be say top 3? be it foreign or somewhere in the emerald isle

To be honest the ideal place could well be the one place you both know and love.

OP, there are a number of things one can do with proposing. Sure, the Ring of Kerry is quite appropriate, pun-wise, especially if one or the other is from Kerry (would recommend Staigue stone fort-ring symbol again)

However, this may not be applicable in all circumstances. Perhaps you both could be at the beach and whilst beach-combing one finds an unusual clam or large oyster? Inside the ring could be concealed?

Or maybe you both could take up falconing and have the bird carry something from one to the other?

And of course it is coming up to Halloween, so perhaps bake a barm-brack with the ring inside? She will be impressed with the baking, have no doubt about it OP.

You should check out this thread in the Weddings/Marriage forum.

Might give some good ideas.

Somewhere that has significant meaning to you both in relation to your relationship

like the place of your first date, your first holiday etc.

If you are planning on proposing, then in all likelyhood you know the person in question very well. In which case you would probably now what places hold a special place in their/both your hearts.
The whole just "choose a landmark in a foreign country" thing is a bit too cold and impersonal in my opinion. I think its better to just do it someplace that is intimately special to both of you, whether it is somewhere spectacular and popular, like the empire state building, or somewhere small and unkown. At the end of the day each couples experiences and memories are different, and it is worth choosing a place that is special to both of you, as that way the memory will also be special, for the rest of your (hopefully) married life together!

Somewhere that holds special memories or whenever you feel right. I don't really go for the extravagant proposals but thats just my opinion.

It does'nt matter where you ask the question but you are better off doin it somewhere you both like maybe the place you first met or if there is a lake with a island nearby you could rent a boat and ask her on that good luck with it

Hide the oars so she cant paddle off on you. And also keep her there till she says yes

Don't go to the typical tourist or proposal spot. Find a place unique to you both.

Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree. A place you both frequent regularly.;)
