practical and romantic places for wedding proposal

Pull off that wedding proposal and make its memory last.

Next to the actual wedding, what people consider a truly romantic and momentous event in one’s life is a wedding proposal. When and how you ask for your lady’s hand is as important as the where.

A restaurant or a scenic spot is always nice, but here are some other practical and romantic places where you can propose marriage to your girl—places that will touch her heart and make her say yes, with tears and smiles all over her face. And it is a lover’s sweet surprise worthy of an “awwwwwww…” moment.

The church where her or your parents tied the knot.

Let a legacy of love continue.

Consider your girlfriend or your own parents’ love story. Maybe their wedding is worth emulating, and you see something that’s admirable despite some usual relationship setbacks. Choosing this place to propose to her is a good idea as their story will remind you of a legacy of love—the kind of love you want to continue.

The exact spot where you first met.

Go back to where it all started.

Whether it is at a coffee shop, a street corner, your office, a bookstore, or a friend’s house, proposing at a place you first met is a romantic way to reminisce and immortalize that life-altering moment when the two of you shared the first glance. It’s like telling her that where it all began is where your destiny has been sealed; your paths crossed because you’re meant to be together for the rest of your lives.

At her parents’ house.

Visit her parents’ house and make them part of your big day.

Choosing this place sends that clear message of how much you value and respect your sweetheart’s family, especially her parents. Show her parents how grateful you are for bringing her into this world, that they are very much a part of your love story and the new chapter you are about to begin as a couple.

Where you had your first fight.

Remind her of how your love has withstood the test of time.

Alright, this is a bit risky as it might cause her to remember an ugly experience in your relationship and so decide to turn down your marriage proposal (ouch!). But before she conjures up images of your shouting match at the exact spot a year ago and walks out, tell her that you brought her to this place because you want to reassure her of the sincerity and strength of your love.

At her favorite place.

Do it in her most favorite place.

Does she love the beach? Or the bay walk? Or that quaint café down the street? Bring her there as just like any normal day. As your conversation goes on, tell her that whenever you’re together, you consider even your most mundane activities special because you are doing it with her.

Then proceed to tell her that you want to do your routines with her for the rest of your life. Bring out the ring and ask for her “Yes.” Mention that it takes loving eyes to see the beauty in the ordinary.
