Ok, remember how I posted on what a great place the Brooklyn Bridge is for a proposal??
Imagine you're on the pedestrian walkway of the Brooklyn Bridge and your boyfriend is just about to propose.
He opens the ring box and suddenly the engagement ring falls out and drops through the wood planks down below.
You gasp! Everyone screams!
He climbs down into oncoming traffic to get the ring and miraculously finds it!
Wow! Talk about a happy ending....

Mile High Proposal!
Since a few of you aren't officially engaged yet (love your pro-active planning and blogging!), I thought I'd share a fun new destination PROPOSAL idea! I think this is a really cool way to pop the question, assuming neither of you is afraid of heights. Talk about a travel themed proposal!?!
Las Ventanas al Paraiso in Los Cabos, Mexico, the destination's only Five Diamond property, is where it all starts. This Rosewood Resort has a dedicated Department of Romance to handle all of the details so the proposer can relax. Here's what happens:
- The couple is chauffered to nearby Cabo San Lucas Airport
- Their butler greets them with a heart-shaped picnic basket full of champagne and gourmet treats
- They proceed on an exciting helicopter ride over the Sea of Cortez and Los Cabos
- About 30 minutes into the flight, the girl spots a message written in seashells and flower petals in the sand that reads, "Marry Me (her name here)!"
- The guy pulls out a ring and hopefully she says "Yes."
Afterwards, they can celebrate back at the resort in their romantically decorated suite.
Ready to go? Email the Director of Romance Maria Jose Garcia at MariaJoseGarcia@Rosewoodhotels.com.

Tis the season for proposals!
How cute would this little Eiffel Tower be for a secret proposal? It would also be an adorable wedding favor for a French themed wedding.

Will You...Go On Lots of Honeymoons With Me?
So, how'd he propose? People ask me that all the time.
Since my Globetrotting Husband's proposal had a travel theme (and since he's been asking when I'm going to blog about it), here's our engagement story:
This is what he wrote on our wedding website's blog when we got engaged this March:
Today, I asked Lyla to marry me. Wow...what a great feeling. It was a rainy, blustery, cold Saturday. Not exactly an auspicious setting for discussing our life together. But it was such a great feeling to be engaged that we didn’t mind when we ventured out for a celebratory dinner, and got completely soaked by monsoon-like rain and strong, gusting winds.
Here's what I wrote:
On the rainiest of Saturdays, David popped the question with an innovative travel-themed proposal. First, I unwrapped this big orange leather Ghurka duffel, very fancy of course. Loaded inside were lots of small travel-related presents like creams and lotions, an eye mask, PJs, a travel journal, passport case, luggage tag, etc. Each accompanied by a cryptic note! Further down in the bag, I discovered Champagne and a little matching travel case with the ring and a note about taking lots of honeymoons. Needless to say, my bags are packed!
I don't know how we forgot to take pictures but we did. And if you're wondering how many honeymoons we plan to take, the answer is three!
Here we are at Belcourt, one of our favorite brunch spots, where we celebrated the next day with friends.
For those of you who miss my single-girl dating stories. I'm pleased to announce that I've found a new globetrotting 30-something New York City girl for you to follow! Check out Single Gal In The City where you can share in Melissa's delightful dates, weekend getaways, girls nights, blast from the past journal entries and daily life as a travel publicist. And be sure to read how I'm inspiring her to re-visit the world of cyberspace dating.
