My engagement proposal idea was to take my girlfriend to the London Eye (Millenium Wheel) in London and propose at the top of the wheel. The expense of the trip was nothing in comparison to the uniqueness of the idea which my future wife loved so much.

She was thrilled that I had put in so much thought into the proposal and along with the fact that we were very much in love the answer could only have been one – and it was “Yes!”

Of course, tickets to the London Eye can be elusive at times due to its high popularity and so some planning ahead is certainly necessary. Also a bit of luck is needed on the weather front as due to England’s unpredictable weather, the views from the top of the wheel can either be magnificent or so covered in clouds that it is hard to make out many of the major landmarks at all.

I would also advise anyone contemplating such an idea to go in the evening once the sun has gone as this is when London truly comes to life – the lighting around the major landmarks is just fantastic. As engagement proposals should be a well thought through event, it is also good to make the evening memorable; perhaps by booking a table at an expensive restaurant, as we managed to.

With a bit of careful planning and thinking ahead, engagement proposals can be both memorable and get the right answer! A “yes!”

A friend of mine is a huge Cardinals baseball fan. This was the first thing her husband and her had in common. One of their first dates was even to a game. So it was only fitting that he used that love for the Cardinals in how he propose.

When the new stadium was being built, people were given the option to buy bricks for the stadium and had them engraved. His brick at the ballpark said marry me Jen. He also got the same brick made to have at home.

The first time they went to the new stadium they were looking at all the different things people had engraved. He didn’t say anything… he waited till she found it. At first she thought it was cool that it had her name on it.

She had no clue that it was for her until she turned around and Matt was on one knee with a ring. And as they say, the rest is history. Their first child will be here in six months. Hopefully the little bundle of joy will like the Cardinals just as much, it would be a shame if he turned out to be a Cub fan.
