Marriage is a very serious thing, but the proposal doesn't have to be. A proposal of marriage can be fun and unpredictable, requiring imagination and preparation. Proposing while viewing Fourth of July fireworks is nice. A proposal in New York in the spring--exquisite. However, there are practical, breathtaking options for a successful, romantic winter proposal. The key is the element of surprise. This will make any proposal memorable. - The horse and carriage is a traditional way to propose in the winter.carriage & horse image by Clarence Alford from Fotolia.com
Riding through the city in a carriage in the winter may not be everyone's desire; however, for those who enjoy the frigid evening air, this is a great option for a relaxing and romantic proposal. Another option is a daytime trek through the city. With the sun's rays beating down and the warmth of a wool blanket, this makes for a snuggly proposal. It's simple, yet elegant--for those with a romantic soul. - Winter time fireworks are exciting and refreshing.fireworks image by Earl Robbins from Fotolia.com
Take the traditional summertime fireworks and add a modern spin by heading to Times Square on New Year's Eve to view the annual fireworks. If you don't mind the crowd--some even prefer it--this is the perfect setting. The evening will be even more romantic with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. This method of proposing is exciting and invigorating. Instead of making individual resolutions to lose weight or get a better job, try making a resolution with your new fiance-- a clean start for the New Year and for your new life together. - Don't be afraid to try something new.ice fishing equipment image by Inger Anne Hulb?|kdal from Fotolia.com
If you want to steer away from the traditional winter/Christmas proposal, think outside the box. It's safe to assume most would not expect a proposal sitting in the middle of a frozen lake while trying to catch a fish through a tiny hole in the ice. According to advice-for-lifetime-relationships.com, "Great lifetime memories start with great creative marriage proposals." Bonus points for tying the ring at the end of the fishing line for that added element of surprise. - Any proposal can be considered memorable regardless of season.Praia image by viniciuscampos from Fotolia.com
Winter time proposing does not have to mean a cold, snowy night. If in a warmer climate, a proposal under the stars on a balmy evening at the beach may seem cliche to some, but it's the element of surprise that garners a lifetime of wonderful memories.
