There’s nothing more romantic than a getaway together, so what better way to propose? Here are four ideas on how to sweep her off her feet– almost literally!

1. The Bed and Breakfast. This destination doesn’t have to be far. It can even be in town! There’s something so romantic about staying somewhere else and still have the “home” feel. Go for a night or two, sleep in, and just enjoy each other’s company. When the moment is right, ask her to spend the rest of her life with you.

2. Fancy-Shmancy. Save up those pennies and plan a night out in your closest “big city”. Stay at the nicest hotel, eat out at the nicest restaurant, order room service in the morning– go all out. Make a night of it and see a show or go dancing, whatever it is that’s your style. Make it a night to remember with a ring on top of it all. She’ll certainly never forget it.

3. Sail Away. Ever been on a cruise? Personally, I haven’t, but it’s something my husband and I talk about doing all the time. Whether it’s somewhere tropical or an adventurous Alaskan destination is your choice. Plan the trip together or surprise her with it when she thinks you’re doing something else. Just make sure you check to see if she has a fear of open water or something. That would be a bust.

4. Dream Destination. Do you know what her #1 place to visit is? Like, the place she always dreams about going but isn’t sure she’ll ever make it? If you have the funds and/or the connections, make it happen for your proposal. Whisk her away like in a movie and make it the trip of her life. When she comes home, she’ll have so many memories to share with friends and family– and a shiny new engagement ring, to boot!
