Best Places to Propose In
Loved-up Romeos who are considering popping that question need to think carefully about where to get down on one knee, I mean, it's not the sort of thing you should do just anywhere, not when there are so many romantic places around the world which are just made for the words Will You Marry Me? Here are just some suggestions of places to pop the question. The rest is up to you.
Hovering over New York
Imagine proposing in a helicopter as you fly over the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building or Central Park. A 10-minute flight costs about $110pp but if you want to make absolutely sure she'll say yes, you should splash out on a private 20-minute Romance over Manhattan ride, which costs about $875. Tours are available from Liberty Helicopters .
Paraglide proposal
A wannabe James Bond can strap on a harness and paraglide in tandem with a professional into the Six Senses Hideaway at Zighy Bay in Oman, where his beloved will be waiting for him to drop down on one knee. What woman would be able to resist such a macho gesture? Flight inclusive packages to the Six Senses, which is tucked away in a secluded fishing village on the northern Musandam Peninsula, cost from £1,710pp for five nights bed and breakfast with Kuoni
In a horse-drawn sleigh
Speak those magic words as the two of you snuggle under a fur rug on an evening sleigh ride through the snowy forests of Finnish Lapland, when the only other sound is the gentle click of the reindeer's hooves and the only sight the soft twinkling of the stars. You might be treated to a display of the Northern Lights, which will make this one proposal no-one will be able to refuse. Inghams offers rides from the resort of Saariselka, to where it has seven-night packages from £515 pp, including flights.
Dining on a dhow
Pop the question as you cruise around the old port of Mombasa, Kenya on an authentic Arab dhow, that's an old wooden sailing vessel, in case you were wondering. The evening will begin with a strong Dawa vodka cocktail to give you Dutch courage and you can propose either during the dancing to live music on deck or during the gourmet four-course dinner of grilled lobster and steak that follows. Somak offers the excursion to guests staying in Mombasa, where packages start at £799pp for 14-nights B&B.
Floating in a hot air balloon
What could be more romantic than floating silently over Paris, or the ancient city of Bruges or picturesque Turin at sunrise or sunset? Or indeed, at any time of day? You'll be able to choose the most romantic spot to pop the question and when you've both got your feet firmly back on the ground the pilot will help you celebrate with a glass of bubbly and some local delicacies. Isango organises balloon trips around the world. Rides costs from £130pp in Bruges.
