So, as I wait for the ER to come, I am now left wondering where the best place to ask her is. So I have a few ideas. We''re both very spiritual and very outdoorsy people, so I''m of course planning on popping the question someplace majestic. The problem is that where we live, Colorado, there are tons of majestic places! Here''s some background:
Before we even started dating, I was showing her around the area because we knew each other from church. We went to go hiking and I took her by this church that''s nestled in the mountains. I had visited a friend in CO before I moved here, and when I saw this church, I said this is where I''m getting married someday. I even took my parents to see it after I moved here, and told them the same thing. They laughed because I had only been living here for 3 months, and I wasn''t even seeing anyone. Well, when I took my girlfriend there, we weren''t dating yet, I was very interested in her, but I wasn''t sure if she felt the same way or not. We just walked around the church and then we went inside. She was so impressed once inside that she said, I''m totally getting married here! It''s the kinda thing that sends chills down your spine, since I had said the same thing on numerous occasions, but never shared that with her. So now, my ideas:
1. There''s a hike up to a short peak from which you see the church and the massive mountain behind the church. To me, there''s something special about overlooking the church in the valley. This is the exact view, but the massive mountain is to the left (West), and out of the picture here: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/novak/rmnp/picsdir/w156.jpg. It can be seen here though in this picture taken from the road looking West: http://www.stevej46photography.com/files/SaintMaloMtMeekerDenoise800.jpg. More pics here.
2. The other idea I had was actually proposing in the church, which I could make very special, but I think I like the first idea better.
3. The other idea I had was to go to someplace completely different, yet amazing. Someplace like hanging lake, which is well known around here. I think the first post would be more secluded and personal though. See the lake here.
Thanks for your thoughts and advice in advance,
Doug
