Hello all,
I''d like to propose to my girlfriend during our trip to New York in 2 weeks and I''m in need of a little advice. I originally wanted to propose to her in Battery Park around or just after sunset for sentimental reasons. I''m sort of conflicted because I know she would not be ok with a big public to do so my plans would have to be flexible depending on the size of the crowd there.
So now I''m leaning toward doing it the Monday evening we''re there because we''ll be nice & dressed up (going to a show with some friends in the afternoon). The problem is we won''t be able to ditch them until after dark and the dinner plans. I started thinking about having some roses/candles/champagne delivered to the hotel while we''re out but I already know she will be tired by the time we get back and I''d like the moment to be a little more than
will you marry me
o.m.g. yes/no/maybe
ok good night
I am split about 60/40 that she''s going to mentally check-out once we get to the hotel (so it''s not a completely lost cause). So now I''m back to a detour to Battery Park or anywhere really between Broadway and South Manhattan (the hotel is right near the Brooklyn Bridge, fyi). I''m pretty much set on that evening because the formal wear (at least in her book) definitely gives me a boost for romance points.
So, after that long-winded background, does anybody have any suggestions for locations near the theater district or en route to the south of the island? Or any suggestions for a nice surprise at the hotel are also very welcome.
I have the ring in the safe and my lines down pat. It''s just this last bit remaining. Thanks for the help.
