Looking for marriage proposal ideas?! maybe NYC connections?

That's really cool. In my case I popped the question early in the evening before a very nice dinner....your fiancee may not eat for 24 hours afterward, so if a nice NYC dinner is planned and you want her to eat...
Have fun with the plans and congratulations in advance! |
Here is an idea...."don't do it"...there I said what all your guy friends are telling you already!
|
Congrats!
|
Idea...
I can only think of the typical ideas for proposing in NYC. Times Square, Central Park, Empire State Building.
Or how about take her to dinner at Tavern on the Green and propose there. Tavern on the Green is a nice restaurant in Central Park. There should be a website for it. Or you could do it in a carriage ride thru Central Park on the way to the Restaurant. Just an idea...whatever you decide good luck...:thumbup: |
the Pomanade in brooklyn at nite, the best view i've ever seen in my life.
|
Maybe the female members here can give better idea of what she will like.
|
where ever you go, call ahead, and have them bake you a special cake with 'Will you marry me?' on it. Make sure the waiter/manager knows whats going on so they'll be no screw ups.
if they can't bake you a special cake, have them bring out some other dessert she likes on a large plate where the chef can write 'will you marry me?' on the plate around the dessert. its sorta cheesy, but it worked for me :) |
Congrats...
I was under the same dilema and finally stopped thinking too much about it and I just took her to a nice dinner (Top of the Hub) we both had a good time and afterwards we went to Mohegan Sun for celebrating.... Good luck w/ whatever you decide to do. |

With patience and humility and hard work they generally do. Get her a BMW, won't hurt.

You've been together for a while now so you must have a shared tradition, special event, a common interest or even a running gag that you can work off of. IMO, doing something grand just doesn't cut it if there isn't some underlying shared meaning to it (other than the obvious one). Best of luck and let us know what you decide on! |

only if you want to get food poisoning.... there are better places |
I popped the question while enjoying a bottle of wine alone on a chartered yacht at sunset in the British Virgin Islands. We both love to sail so it was special for us.
I agree with rayxi - try to do someting that involves a shared tradition or common interest. Good luck and have fun.:thumbup: |
Sorry...

Any of the "top 5" romantic restaurants listed in the NYC Zagats will be more than outstanding, and expensive to match... TotG does a lot of corporate parties and the room(s) are HUGE so it doesn't really have that romantic feel to it. The Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center might be a good choice, mostly because they just reopened the observation deck on the roof so dinner and a stroll out to the deck might do the trick without having to change venue from dinner to "proposal locale", or might facilitate working the proposal into either before/during/after dinner all at the same place. And St Patrick's Cathedral is across the street if you're of the Roman Catholic persuasion and feel like stopping in to let God in on the good news after you're done :) :) :) |

I can't give you any advice, but congrats and hope everything goes well :thumbup: !

Hmm...the whole "in a restaurant thing" is ok, but really overused, especially in movies and on tv. An idea is to go to www.theknot.com and read some of the couples' proposals. TheKnot.com is a website for couples to put their wedding info, registries, etc and there are sections they fill out with how they met and "how he popped the question."
Just make sure when you do it, its not going to sound corny when she has to repeat the story over and over again to everyone who asks, "How did he propose!" (unlike mine!) |

I just noticed this in your OP.

The proposal just sort of happened without any planning. It wasn't grand or elaborate but I have no regrets about the way it happened. Once in a while I catch her with a smirk on her face and a twinkle in her eye when we go out and I suggest we order Martinis. I guess where I'm going with this is that sometimes the special part of a special occasion happens much later. Whatever you do, big or small, the way you feel about her will come through so don't sweat it! BTW, we don't drink 10 Martinis in restaurants anymore. |

How's about a baseball game with your proposal on the Jumbotron? Red Sox, Mets, or Yankees?
What about a plane carrying a banner? Or maybe hire a sky writer (doesn't work on windy days)? |

I'm with Ray on his idea: a shared hobby/interest/activity...
I think the rest/rooftop/"staged" deal is way too schmultzy and B Movie-like and pretty corny. Think about what you two really have enjoyed "doing" in your time together and courtship, (besides That!), and maybe cook up a more "over the top" version of that hobby/activity. I think the sincere asking and acceptance is very personal and doesn't really need to "be done" in some staged/psuedo-romantic arena or some semi-public place; this is a proposal of Marriage, not a 50th birthday party or work get together. NYC is the finest city on the Planet, imo...so, maybe there is some hook/connection for your situ...but, think about that in terms of one on one, not some staged affair. My 2Cts and Congrats! GL,md |

Keep in mind NYC is like an oven in July. And you'll constantly be stressing about losing the ring. And girl hair frizzes in the humidity. And what if you get a crabby waiter who just blew his audition (and god knows what else) earlier that day, dinner could suck. It's a private moment, you don't need 400 tourists at TontheG clapping.
Why not a great cabin on a lake in the Adirondacks? Propose by a firepit overlooking a lake. Keep in mind the weekend prior to your tentative date is a full moon...launch your offensive a week early. Worked for Rommel, Mao Tse Tung, and Schwartzkopf, so figger they're on to something. Have fun and be prepared for your toilet paper consumption to go from 2 rolls a month to 1 roll a day. |

You guys are too much, lol!

Personally i would try to think of something that would surprise. you said you go to NYC on vacation in the summer and winter, try and think of the first time you guys went and take her to a spot she absolutely loved, you know the first time you were both there I think she would always cherish the fact that you remembered that spot after soo long and pop the question there, it doesn't matter if it's a restaurant or a certain you both stopped on a walk or something. Just a thought from a female on the board :) no matter what i'm happy for you and congrats in advance :thumbup:

IMHO, if you want AMAZING Italian in midtown, Patsy's (not patsy's pizza in the village) on 56th is the place to go. The menu is huge, the wine list is huge, the service is top notch, and the food is outstanding. You don't even need to look at the menu if you don't want to, you can just tell your waiter what you want and most of the time they'll make it for you. http://www.patsys.com/ There are other very good italian joints in NYC, don't get me wrong, Little Italy didn't get it's name because it's shaped like a boot, the restaurants down there are also very good (monty's comes to mind). Anyway, check out patsy's, you won't be sorry. Regards, Gresch "i go out to eat in NYC way too often" |
Why did you wait so long? Just ask her right now and that's it. Sooner you do it, you'll feel much, much better. Proposal does not have to be fake, and "special" beacuse life is not, make every day off your life the best day of your life.
Congrats! |
