Most romantic time of the year for proposal?

[diamondglee]

Just curious about opinions on the most romantic time of the year for a proposal? I personnally think Christmas, because its magical anyway.

Well, I have to say Christmas time, or Christmas season, because that''s when DH proposed to me! (Dec. 14th, 2002). And not only for romantic reasons, but practical reasons as well--it''s fun to be planning a wedding when the winter doldrums hit and spirits can be low due to the lack of daylight and nasty weather!!! Also, it''s easier or maybe more peaceful to go and visit possible wedding venues when there aren''t a ton of things going on at the sites...I could go on and on, lol! Oh, and if you get engaged close to or before Christmas, it''s a good time because you will be able to celebrate with most if not all of your family members because they''re already gathering for the holidays...

Ditto ditto!

 

[Mandarine]

right now!

hehe

I''ve never really thought about it.....I guess if I lived in a place that had actual seasons I would like the Fall....when all the leaves are in full color!

M~

 

[diamondfan]

I think each season, except maybe the heat of summer...

Winter holidays are so pretty and twinkly
Spring in a gorgeous garden/park type setting (botanical garden etc) is so lush and pretty
In the Northeast when the leaves change and there is a bit of cool in the air, fires outside around a fire pit, country inns, etc...

the middle of summer with all the humidity and heat would be the least appealing to me unless I was in a tropical paradise by a waterfall...

 

[janinegirly]

i'm in the "anytime" camp! the propsal is what makes it romantic! I guess I wouldn't want Valentine's Day but other than that,..i'll take any day. hell this wkend, next wkend,...but not going to happen ..

 

[Curls]

I''m going to go against the majority and say any other time than Christmas.

While I love that time of year, I really hope it doesn''t happen then. My birthday is Christmas Eve and for way too long I''ve had everything lumped together. I don''t want the proposal to be part of Christmas and my birthday. But I do have to admit that I''m getting pretty eager, so it''s not like I''d be too unhappy if it happened.

(My boyfriend''s been bragging for about a month now about how wonderful of a Christmas gift he''s getting me. I doubt it''s a ring because I''ve already expressed my views about the time of year to him, but if it is, I''ll still be happy.)

 

[Butterflies]

I really don''t care what time of year he does it, to me the important thing is HOW he does it. I don''t need an elaborate proposal. All I want is a sincere and heartfelt intimate moment between the two of us, where the rest of the world does not exist and that we can both feel so much love that overwhelms us. Thats it.

 

[Julian]

I''d say President''s Day!

Just kidding. I think Christmas is romantic because you''re around all of your loved ones and they can share in the joy.

 

[therighttime]

I agree that there is just something magical about Christmas that would make a proposal very romantic. I''ve always thought getting married on New Year''s Eve would be fun, so a New Year''s Eve proposal would be a definite romantic time too.

Of course, TODAY seems like a great time for a proposal to me!

 

[ephemery1]

Hmmm... fun question... my proposal was in June, so there was nothing particularly special about that time of the year. But it was while having a picnic in my favorite park, just as it started to rain... which I love. So it was perfect for me in that sense!

I ADORE Christmas, but I don''t think I would have wanted a prospoal ON Christmas... there''s enough to be excited about on that day! But some other time during the season would be nice... then you could celebrate Christmas together as an engaged couple! (If you''re not a Christmas-person, substitute whatever holiday you celebrate instead

)

Well, from my "Top 10 List of Best Proposal Ideas", I''d have to say, New Year''s Eve. How great would it be for him, just as the clock was about to strike midnight to say, "I don''t want to spend another year of my life without having you as my wife. Will you marry me?"

 

[anchor31]

I adore Christmas time... but my proposal was in July and boy was it romantic! We''re both big nature lovers and he proposed in a gorgeous park, in the shade, and there wasn''t a cloud in the sky...

 

[Miranda]

IMO New Year''s Eve is the best time. Other than that, anytime could be a magical, romantic time.

 

[musey]

Halloween! Fall colors, everyone's in costumes, playing someone they're not... he says he thinks every woman should have come as the most intelligent, kind, beautiful woman in the world: YOU!

...Or something equally sappy and amazing

That's so something a guy would come up with.

I should work for A Perfect Proposal or something, haha!

Anyway, I don't think I'd like Christmas. Only because Christmas is still a very family occasion for me, and I wouldn't want to have to share that moment with my family members. I'd like a very, very private moment.

Not to be really odd, but proposals on big holidays are one thing, but getting married on them can be tricky! My sister in law got married NY eve...now that she has kids she can never get a sitter so she can go out and celebrate with her hubby!!! (I know it sounds weird to think of it but I know her struggle with it each year!)

I agree. My parents got married on Dec. 21 so that their church would already be decorated (no money for flowers!). Every year they have trouble getting a table for their anniversary (my little home town doesn't really do reservations I guess) and it's not even ON a holiday, just close to one. Plus their schedules are always so busy 4 days before Christmas that often they forget their own anniversary!

X-mas eve, hands down. I told my then bf way before we got engaged, that that is when I wanted him to propose. At least he listened to me on that issue It was awesome and holds very special memories all these years later.

 

[RoseAngel04]

Hm...how about around August 12th?! hehe...this is when my sweetheart proposed and it was PERFECT!

It was the *eve* of our 4 year anniversary and I was COMPLETELY caught of gaurd. It was very sweet, romantic, and memorable...wouldn''t have had it any other way or DAY!

So....While I do love Christmas time, and think the holiday season is very romantic, a big "holiday" proposal wasn''t for us personally....

 

[Diamond*Dana]

My DH proposed on Christmas Eve and it could not have been more magical and romantic than that!

 

[reader]

Anniversary of the first date. If he can remember what day that is, that in itself is special.

 

[MustangFan]

4th of July
fireworks make it romantic
that''s when my proposal was supposed to be, but he didn''t have the ring
and still doesn''t have the ring lol

He told me that he was going to invite everyone over
immediate family, my immediate family, & friends
Too bad it didn''t happen that way, it sucks to be informed the way it was "supposed to be"

 

[diamondglee]

I think a Christmas Eve proposal would be perfect. Christmas Eve has always been magical to me. INext time my B proposes (bit of a story there)I hope its on Christmas Eve.

I''d also love to get married around the same time. Tiny intimate ceremony at night, white twinkling lights....

 

[Curls]

Wow, I never realized my birthday was so magical and special to everyone.

 

[Scintillating]

I was proposed to on my b-day Dec. 18th and again (w/ ring) on Christmas Eve - the 24th - it is indeed a magical time to become engaged.

Scintillating...

I brought up this question to my boyfriend and he said, "Winter. Definitely."

A sign that the proposal will happen within the next few months, no? (We were planning on getting engaged the end of the the year or beginning of next year anyway.

)

hehe Jen...very sneaky way to get some clues!!!

Winter would do for a beatiful proposal!!!!...I don''t really have a ''winter'' in Florida....but if you live somewhere where you do it would be beautiful!!!!

They are all soon for me too.... My birthday is a week from Wednesday... Thanksgiving is a week from Thursday, and of course Christmas and New Year''s Eve are just 6-7 weeks away! My BF told me in September that he had plans for sometime during the next couple of months. I just keep thinking that surely with all these occassions, he will have plenty of opportunities!
