    I'm looking for the opinion of all you ladies out there.

    I'm thinking about proposing to my girlfriend at Christmas. We are heading to New York from 16th - 23rd December and I was going to do it over there. But now I'm kinda thinkin of waiting until we're on our own on Christmas Eve, in our own home, under the tree after midnight.

    Which sounds more romantic. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

    If it was me I would much prefer you to do it while in NYC. I find the whole Christmas / New Years proposal super cheesy and I hate it.
    Thats my opinion though and as a lot of girls go I am very ungirly about the whole thing. I think Christmas proposals are very predictable and think it better, more personal, more romantic, more special to do it at a time and place that has meaning for you as a couple.

    We went to Mexico last year over Christmas and my (now) husband proposed to me the day after we got there so we celebrated! Then we went and bought the ring and we celebrated again! Then on Christmas Day I wore the ring for the first time and we celebrated again!!!

    If I were you I would go for the proposal in New York and as you can see from above, you can drag out the celebration for as long as you want!!!

    It will be a wonderful time for time for both of you so Good luck!

    Wahey, exactly what I did last year. Proposed in NYC on the top of the rockefeller centre and then went and bought the ring the next morning. She loved it and the celebrations went on and on. Before we even got back from NYC, her mother complained that she was now "sick of champagne".
    She was especially shocked because I had her convinced that I was too broke for a ring and that NYC was strictly a sight-seeing/shopping affair.

    I also liked that having done it while away, we had a few days on our own together with no pressure to head off immediately and see anyone. By the time we got back it was the 23rd and exactly the same there was little or no pressure to go and see people because they were all too busy with christmas.

    THanks a mil guys for the responses. Yeah, I think I'm going to go ahead and do it in New York. As you said Seamus, it will give us a few days on our own at least.

    Thanks again everyone!

    My cousin and a work colleague both got engaged in New York last Christmas and they loved getting engaged over there, My cousins fiance brought the ring over with him and proposed over there. My work colleague and her fiance bought the ring over there. Also my cousin said it was great that they had a few days on their own and they had a chance to discuss the wedding without family butting (they got married last month).
