Hello everyone on this forum. I''ve been lurking around the proposal ideas for about a year, but have never posted anything until tonight.
My g/f and I have been dating for almost 3 years and are currently living together. She''s been anxious about getting engaged for some time now, and we picked out a ring together last weekend. I''ve been trying to think of a special time to propose to her, and think easter may be a good time.
3 years ago she stayed at college (as opposed to going home) for easter to work on her many projects senior year. I asked her to my family''s easter dinner and she decided to come. After dinner, we sat down on my couch and we both mentioned we had a crush on each other. We will be heading back to my parents house (about 400 miles away) for easter this year, and I thought about reliving that night by proposing to her in my parents living room. My only concerns with this idea would be the awkwardness of being proposed to in my parent''s house, and the trip is going to be very quick.
My alternate idea is as follows: The first summer we dated, we took a 2-week roadtrip together. We camped, hiked and explored lots of small coastal towns. We won''t be able to recreate the roadtrip we had taken previously, however, we could take a shorter roadtrip over a long weekend early in the summer to a different place. I''ve got a place in mind that is only a few hours away, is camper friendly, and neither one of us has ever explored it yet.
So, my question out there to all the ladies (and the gentlemen can feel free to answer as well), which idea sounds more fantastic, and what might your concerns be with the ideas? Do ladies prefer the "destination proposal?"
Thanks in advance for your help!
