Finding the right engagement ring is a huge challenge requiring a lot of careful thought, but that’s only half the battle. If you are going to ask someone to spend the rest of their life with you, it’s better to find a location that is both deeply moving on its own and romantic enough to make a memory for a lifetime. In this piece we will take a look at some of the best cities around the world, to make a marriage proposal.
Amsterdam
If you are looking for a more intimate setting, then you would probably fall in love with the city of Amsterdam. You can visit the historical centre but, while it’s beautiful, it’s the outer neighbourhoods where you can take a peaceful walk around gorgeous channels and streets. You can easily find a beautiful windmill and take a break, only to ask the big question.
New York
The city that never sleeps is probably among the most well known around the world. People visit it every year to visit its famous landmarks and beautiful streets, which has also made it the subject of numerous romantic films. You can visit the location of Breakfast at Tiffany’s or When Harry Met Sally as an excuse to reflect on your relationship and make a touching proposal.
Las Vegas
Las Vegas is well known for how it’s relatively easy for people to get married at places like the Little White Wedding Chapel. But its luxurious and iconic environments like the Bellagio fountains make it a perfect location for a truly unforgettable proposal. In fact, according to a blog post on Gala Casino, celebrity couples ranging from Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow to Bruce Willis and Demi Moore have tied the knot here as well.
Tokyo
Preparing a proposal can be made extra special in a beautiful setting, and the neighbourhoods surrounding Tokyo’s centre have many alternatives to choose from. If you are visiting during the spring, you can take a walk around its many parks filled with cherry blossoms, and suburban streets adorned by colourful flowers. There is also the chance to visit during the autumn and use the beautiful changing colours of the leaves as a unique background.
Cusco
There’s a reason the Inca empire chose these locations as their capital. The surrounding mountains and valleys are truly magical sights, and the mix of colonial buildings and ancient Inca ruins make for a unique combination. Whether you choose to take a romantic night walk around its famous main square, or take a luxurious trip on the Hiram Bingham train and admire the stunning views, the city offers multiple opportunities to make an irresistible proposal.
Paris
The most romantic city in the world may come as an obvious alternative, but its unique architecture, historical sites, and beautiful gardens give numerous alternatives to prepare a lovely proposal. You can choose to do it while admiring the city while walking next to the Seine River, or go for a picnic in the Champs de Mars, using the Eiffel Tower as a background. Having said that, if you have visited the city before, then it might be better to choose a location that has a special meaning for either of you.
An Unforgettable Evening
After reading this you may have a clear idea of the type of proposal you want to organize, but don’t forget to consider what happens afterwards. Asking the question will probably lead to discussing different things, from how deep your feelings are for each other, to deciding who to invite to the wedding. So take your time and choose a location that is both romantic, but also make sure you will both be comfortable spending a couple of minutes together, either walking or sharing a nice meal.
