Greghammer   10 #37 Posted January 16, 2010 Venice sounds like a plan, I like that idea, never been there neither.  The fishing idea would be good too, but I cant imagine taking her fishing, she'll think I've lost the plot.  I knew this was a good idea putting it up for discussion, I'll have a look into the whole Venice idea.  Any more thoughts are welcome because I'm not the best when it comes to being romantic.

laineyiow   10 #40 Posted January 16, 2010 My OH proposed to me on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. We had gone on one of their special meal excursions that they run. He had also arranged with the waiter to bring a bottle of champagne after the main meal and proposed just before the dessert arrived. What was really nice was that we were in a little private carriage off the main carriage with a couple of ladies who we didn't know - but we certainly made their day!  This was over 5 years ago and I still remember and cherish the moment.

Allen   38 #44 Posted January 17, 2010 It doesn't matter where you propose.. I just asked her outside her Dad's house whilst sitting in the firms van.  That were 34 years ago...oh, and she said yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Evei   10 #46 Posted January 17, 2010 How about the place you went for your first date?  That would be my worst nightmare We went for a curry and I was so nervous I threw up outside after the meal. Not the thing to impress someone on a first date Must not have put him off too much as we are still together 8 years on (still waiting to be asked the question though)  Anyway some ideas:  -On a hot air balloon ride (they do them over Sheffield) -During a picnic in the peaks / favourite walk (on top of a mountain?) would have to wait for nice weather -The place were you first had a holiday together - A Geo cache 'treasure hunt' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cat86   10 #47 Posted January 17, 2010 Hi people, I'm looking into proposing to my girlfriend and to be honest have no idea where to do it? I have picked out a ring and am desperate for some help or advise??  I think i'd want to pick my own..  Anyway, to be honest I wouldnt mind where- if it was meant and genuine, and was what I wanted as well the place wouldnt matter. I dont like over elaborate cheesy gestures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
John X Â Â 10 #48 Posted January 17, 2010 Take her on a 2 day break to Barcelona. Be carful she doesn't say yes because she thinks your rich though. Â Lake Como? Yes. Barbados? maybe. The Seychelles? definitely. Â But a 2-day break to Barcelona? Â Fantastic as Barcelona is it is hardly the high life!
