Romantic Places To Propose

Romantic places to propose at are often one of the more important decisions that you are not only making for your relationship, but for a lifelong memory as well. Getting engaged is the next big step to take in your relationship and by doing so you are telling your partner that you want to spend the rest of your life together.

When choosing a romantic place and how you propose to your partner, you will want to take their feelings into account because some may like something simple and spur of the moment, while others really want to know that you put a lot of thought and effort into. You want this moment in your life to be something memorable and special, something that will make your partners jaw drop.

Maui, Hawaii

One of the more romantic places in the world is the island of Maui. Maui is said to be named after the son of a Polynesian man named Hawai’iloa, which is also the name of a demigod. This island is the second largest in Hawaii and the 17th largest island in America, which is very beautiful and romantic. If you and your partner are into sports, they have some of the most beautiful golf courses, stand-up paddle surfing and of course windsurfing.

Most travel agencies will call Maui the best island in the world and is partly due to the Highway to Hana. This highway runs along the east coast of Maui where you pass beautiful mountain ranges, black sand beaches and amazing waterfalls, any of which would be a perfect place to propose. The most known city is Lahaina, which is a big attraction due to all the quaint little shops, restaurants and it has a wharf where you can go whale watching or have a very romantic sunset cruise. If your considering Maui for as the place to propose, why not have it all documented by your favorite Maui photographer, Nicole at Behind The Lens Maui.

Paris, France

Is there a better place to profess your love and commitment to your partner than Paris, the city of love? Paris, which is also known as the city of lights, sets a romantic view of those lights if you take a cruise down the river where you can have dinner and enjoy some of France’s best wines.

A very popular spot for a proposal is the Eiffel Tower. The tower has a restaurant on the second level which brings a gorgeous view of the city. How nice would that be to have an amazing dinner in the Eiffel Tower then go up to the top and gaze out at the beautiful city lights to pop the question to the one you love. One other romantic place to propose would be at the Louvre, which holds some of the most beautiful and most famous art pieces. This spot would be perfect for a couple who is into art and as you stroll down the streets of Paris have an artist paint your portrait. What a fantastic way to remember your trip together.

Monaco

This small romantic city that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea along the French Riviera is a city that has been ruled by the same family for over 700 years. This city is famous for the Casino at Monte Carlo, which was built in 1878 and has been frequently visited by many movie stars and other dignitaries. What better place to start your new life together as an engaged couple than the place where an ordinary girl, Grace Kelly, started her whirlwind romance and became a princess. You can attend a local ballet performance, an opera or the Philharmonic of Monaco. If you and your partner really enjoy the performing arts this would be a perfect place to propose marriage as you may even get one of the performers to get involved in the proposal.

Venice, Italy

Venice has become very popular for wedding proposals because of the romantic gondola rides that run through the heart of the city, along with the gondolier singing along the way. Visiting Venice is often best in the spring because summer can get very humid, which could lead to a less than romantic mood. Venice is also an important tourist destination with all the beautiful art that it has to offer.

Venice is also well known for its ornate glass work called Venetian glass, which is very elaborate, colorful and beautifully made and would be a perfect memento to bring back from your trip to mark the day that you became engaged. This item could be kept in the family and handed down to the first of your children as an engagement present.
