Where in the world to propose marriage?

[ReptilianKittenEater]

I pulled out an atlas to find a country called Belgium.

Not sure if I plan to get that far north. You had to go with the dead tree solution instead of just using Google Maps?

El3so is from a place called Beglium.

While alot of places listed are fantastic (I'd leave Paris off though, chances are good the ring would get pickpocketed) there are fantastic places in the US to propose too. May be cheaper too, leaving money for beer an lingerie for Mrs. Ktrout

Meh. No worries.

Best wishes to you!

For a proposal or honeymoon you might consider Easter Island. It is so quiet with perfect beaches, interesting lore, ruins, and horseback or casual bike exploration is an option if you prefer it over getting around by jeep.

But can you propose on horseback by those giant heads? Because if you can I change my vote.

I did it up above cloud level on a house-sized boulder wedged in a mountain gorge we were climbing. Seemed like the right place and apparently it was.

Out of cellphone range, that's the important thing.

I noticed that the other day. I wonder what life is like in Beglium... All I know about the place comes from a fellow named Nitnit, and I guess it's a bit out of date.

I have a bit of a list of ideas. In no particular order:
* TianAnMen Square/Forbidden City
* Moscow Kremlin and the surrounding area.
* Piazza in Rome, although there are lots of really cool places in Italy. Yeah, I know. Wasn't that in a commercial not too long ago? On one of those funny boats in Venice?
* Parthenon, other areas in Greece?
* Niagara Falls.
* Angkor Wat. Never been, but it just sounds cool.
* Would the Eiffel Tower be too cliche?
* Marin Headlands, north of San Francisco.
* Northern California Redwoods. Maybe Founder's Grove?
* By Old Faithful Geyser in Yosemite would be kind of cute.
* Environs of the Old North Church in Boston, USA would be cool.
* Peak of Mauna Loa/Mauna Kea
* Karlovskii Most (Karl's Bridge) in Prague. Maybe the old city center, too. Lots of cool places in Prague.
* Old town center, Bamberg.
* Old town center, Krakow.
* Grounds of the Mackinac Grand Hotel, Michigan, USA.
* Chichen Itza, Yucatan.

My man just flew me down to Costa Rica and did the deed on a pretty Caribbean beach I told him was one of my favorites. Kind of cliche, but I had some work down there and I'd scored us a kickass beach house for a few days, so it was extra romantic. Beaches at sunset are ace and I'm sure they have some in places with a little more street cred than CR. He had to be pretty sure I'd say yes (as shotgun issues are involved, gakh) but he was still acting like a complete weirdo stress case for days before popping the question. Wherever you propose, just be sure not to do that! I almost had to dump him because I thought he was going psycho on me. That would have been a shame.

Congratulations! We got hitched on a beach in Guam - no nonsense; just us, a pastor, and a couple barstaff as witnesses. Couldn't have been simpler or more memorable.

The paperwork on the other hand was hideous. Traipsing around in the heat of the day from the DMV to the notary to the ROC consulate and back again, one damn thing after another... That was an early test of the partnership.
