propose in central park in new york city
It's interesting:"My first impression of Linda was that she was such a beautiful, witty, charming, clever, friendly and thoughtful person. And when she agreed to marry Paul, it totally proved to me that old adage – opposites really do attract."
Marriage proposal will be remembered "as long as you both shall live," and for many, Central Park in Manhattan is an ideal place to pop the question, since it has several romantic spots any future blushing bride would love. To propose in Central Park, you need to know where the best proposal spots are and some basic proposal rules.
Instructions
1
Decide what kind of atmosphere you want for your marriage proposal. If you want to propose in a tranquil spot, a private bench in the Shakespeare Garden or beneath a weeping willow at The Pool might be ideal. If you want an audience to cheer you on, the Bow Bridge or Wollman Rink are more suitable.
2
Go to Central Park and explore the spots you've decided on. If you can't get to Central Park before the planned proposal, peruse pictures and maps of Central Park on the Internet or purchase a paper map (see Resources below).
3
Plan an activity to precede the proposal, such as a picnic, a sightseeing stroll, ice-skating or dinner at the Boathouse Restaurant. Include your girlfriend in planning this activity. If she is a part of the planning process, she won't be wondering why you've taken her there, and she'll be more surprised when you pop the question.
4
Check the online weather report for Manhattan. You may not want to propose in the pouring rain, but then again, you might think that's romantic. Regardless, it's best to know what you're getting into and have an alternative, sheltered location in mind (see Resources below).
Tips &- Warnings
The Central Park Conservancy puts on free summer concerts at 2 p.m. Sundays in the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center. This could be a fun pre-proposal activity. For more information, call the conservancy at (212) 860-1370.
Exercise and get to a secluded spot to propose to your significant other. Rent bicycles and rowboats at Central Park's Loeb Boathouse parking lot at East 74 Street. For more information, call the Boathouse at (212) 517-2233.
Wait to propose until the time is right. Both of you should be in a good mood and in good health. If you propose to her when she's sick, upset, tired or worried, that will be part of her memory of the proposal, while everyone wants to recall a marriage proposal as a happy moment in their lives.
