- Venice
How can a list ever omit this eternally romance filled city?

Take the quintessential gondola ride and lay back on cushions to watch the world go by. It’s a moment of solitude and companionship – a perfect time to ask the question.
- India

- Yellowstone National Park Ol’ Faithful

National parks have a sense of space and wilderness that’s hard to come by in the urban setting. This makes Yellowstone a great place to pop the question.
- Your special place
Every couple has one of these – a place that is of special significance to them. Perhaps it’s the spot of their first picnic, or the destination they went to their first vacation, a favourite restaurant. Proposing in a place known and loved to both can make the memory of it even more special.
Do remember that the place is not everything. Everything about the proposal needs to be perfect – from the time you do it and the manner in which you do it. A good way to rest assured of a positive answer is to know your partner well. That goes without saying. What can further strengthen your case is a diamond engagement ring. This kind of ring has been around for centuries and is eternally tied to the idea of a commitment. It has value for the giver and the receiver and it is essential that you do your homework before you buy one. In fact, with a ring in your outstretched hand and you on one knee, you’ll have to say nothing at all.
