19 inspired places to propose
Whether you want the occasion to be low-key or over-the-top, a romantic proposal is every girl's dream. Give him a few ideas or plan the perfect moment yourself with some of the most romantic and unusual places in the UK and abroad, any time of year.
Star gazing
Write out your proposal in glow stars on the ceiling or wall of a romantic hotel,
such as one of the funky Malmaison hotels. When your loved one turns out the lights
they'll be transfixed by the illuminated question. Malmaison has hotels all over the country including London, Belfast, Birmingham, Leeds and Edinburgh. Rooms from £99. Contact 0845-3654247, www.malmaison.com
Chocoholic
For a sweet proposal, fly to the Valentine's Chocolate Passion Fair held on the Petit Sablon in Brussels. The way to any chocoholic's heart would be to hide the rock
amidst a box of delicious Belgian pralines. Travelocity.co.uk offers two nights at the Comfort Art Hotel, Brussels,
from £137 per person, including flights and accommodation. www.travelocity.co.uk Departs 13 February from London Heathrow.
Light up your life
One bright idea: propose at the top of Corsewall Lighthouse in Scotland. The lighthouse dates back to 1815 and still functions today, but best of all you can also stay there as it's now a four-star hotel. The romantic Lighthouse Suite has its own sea-facing conservatory. Corsewall Lighthouse hotel, from £70 per night. Contact, www.lighthousehotel.co.uk
Love is in the air
Take your beloved to Primrose Hill in London, or any other high, open space, and hire a plane to fly past at 2,000 feet towing your wedding proposal on a 50 feet banner. From £850. Contact 0208 370 8300 www.buyagift.com
Sea search
If both of you are keen divers or snorkelers, pop the question underwater by writing the question on an underwater slate. Or hide the ring in some coral and let them discover it in a special spot. You'll just have to wait until you come
up to the surface to hear the answer. Book yourselves into the Coral Kaleidoscope Package atthe Caribbean resort of Anse Chastanet in St Lucia (£2,988 per
person, including flights), which overlooks an amazing marine park. Contact
Caribtours, which organises tailormade Caribbean tours. 020-7751 9040, www.caribtours.co.uk
Peak practice
Get your loved one to climb a mountain with you, such as Snowdon or Ben Nevis, and propose when you get to the top. Just make sure you have time to catch your breath so you can say yes.
