February is the month of romance and what better time to pop the question. Now we all want the answer to be yes, right? So when you ask him or her to marry you, you’d better make it a memorable occasion.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris
When you think of Paris, you think of romance, so it is no surprise that the Eiffel Tower appears on this list. Who could say no to living happily ever after standing on top of the most iconic sight in the most romantic city in the world?
Grand Canyon
No doubt this one would impress outdoorsy brides and grooms to be. Proposing at this iconic National Park in the USA will offer a colourful backdrop to the occasion resulting in a guaranteed yes, especially if you’re doing it standing on the edge of a very deep and gaping gorge.
A Venetian Gondola Ride
What could be more romantic than a Venetian gondola ride in the moonlight? Huddled together under a blanket, you and your beloved glide past beautiful Venetian Palazzos, while being serenaded by the gondolier. Throw in a bottle of champagne and you’ve got the perfect setting for a marriage proposal. Now all you need is a yes.
Empire State Building in New York
How about proposing on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, which featured in many a rom-com? It’s where Tom Hanks fell in love with Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle and the place where Cary Grant waited in vain for his beloved Deborah Kerr in An Affair to Remember. If it’s good enough for Hollywood, it’s good enough for a marriage proposal.
The shard in London
One of the latest additions to London’s skyline is the Shard. The viewing platform on its 72nd floor offers 360 views of the entire city which makes it a very romantic spot to pop the question. And if the answer is yes, you can go down a couple of floors to Aqua bar to celebrate the occasion with a bottle of bubbles.
