So a cooworker and I are trying to make suggestions to where he should propose to his girl in the December / Holiday time frame (around Xmas, New Years)....


What would you suggest?

10/31/2006 8:18:54 AM

Does she like beaches or mountains better?

10/31/2006 8:20:22 AM

the beach sucks that time of year.


mountain or scenic lake at sunrise/sunset

doesnt really matter - she likes both as most of us from the Piedmont do

10/31/2006 8:34:55 AM

America's favorite neighbor Applebee's

10/31/2006 8:35:02 AM

Transylvania County

10/31/2006 8:38:12 AM

titty bar.

or take her out skiing and propose on the top of the mountain.

10/31/2006 8:39:48 AM

Blue Ridge Parkway or at the Grove Park Inn.

10/31/2006 8:39:55 AM

Finally, a real suggestion

10/31/2006 8:41:54 AM

I'll give ya something that works...from actual experience

At the JC Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh (granted, not everything will be alive and beautiful in Dec.) there's a white gazeebo near the center of everything. I went there one night about 20 mins. before closing and it was empty, casually walked over to the gazeebo after walking around a bit and hit one knee.

Needless to say she was thrilled.

Good luck to him!

Take her to Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill, then go to a secluded field somewhere, where you can see all the stars. It'll be romantic, but mostly she'll just have the idea of morehead in her head.

10/31/2006 8:53:38 AM

what kind of red blooded american would go to fucking chapel hill, much less to propose? He went to State too, so that shitty idea is out

[Edited on October 31, 2006 at 9:01 AM. Reason : the double entendre was fun though]

10/31/2006 9:01:04 AM

^hahaha

more important than finding "nice places" is finding a place that actually means something to both of them. At the top of the lighthouse in cape hatteras might be cool, but if neither of them knows anything about cape hatteras, or doesn't like going to the outer banks or something, it might not mean much in the future.
But if both of them have a particularly special attachment to the sewer treatment plant in their hometown, then that's the place to do it.

Agreed. Unless he's proposing to another man.

10/31/2006 9:11:16 AM

NC has some nice waterfalls that seem like they would be a good place

just dont get to caught up in the where and how, all that matters is the who...

10/31/2006 9:11:41 AM

you should do something personal - not the standard cheesy crap

10/31/2006 9:14:53 AM

builtmore house

10/31/2006 9:16:59 AM

^ or even the biltmore house

The Greystone Inn in Toxaway, NC is an awesome place to propose. It's a beautiful resort in the mountains, in front of this beautiful lake.

Or what about the Grove Park Inn resort in Asheville? I haven't stayed there before, but I hear it's pretty nice also.

TWW is nothing more than a large spell checker/grammar correction text editor.....

10/31/2006 9:22:20 AM

anywhere original that you don't have to ask the fucking wolfweb for its location

10/31/2006 9:26:38 AM

It was mostly for the morehead joke. But Chapel Hill/Carrboro isn't all bad. I mean its a college town, and carrboro has that public drinking/lounging/market area downtown right?

10/31/2006 9:30:07 AM

bttt

10/31/2006 10:40:32 AM

Anywhere romantic is fine. As long as the honeymoon is somewhere better.

10/31/2006 11:13:27 AM

skydiving!

Agreed. And it doesn't have to be a place necessarily, but the circumstances / surroundings that can make a difference. I proposed in my apartment to her, but I set it up such that it was something unique and special to both of us.

10/31/2006 11:30:34 AM

I'd go for somewhere you can return to. The honeymoon can be far away. But I wouldn't do it in an apartment complex or dorm or somewhere that you'll move out of in a year (if its your long term residence thats fine), but I think it would be nice to always be able to go back to the place you proposed even if it is 20 years down the road.

10/31/2006 12:02:13 PM

I proposed at the top of Currituck lighthouse. It was special for her because she had never seen a lighthouse before and had always wanted to go see one. I woke her up one morning, told her to get dressed and we would be gone all day. She had no idea we were even going to the coast.

10/31/2006 12:03:03 PM

pm her

10/31/2006 12:04:09 PM

Go to the Biltmore.

10/31/2006 12:04:36 PM

my vote is for Grove Park Inn. I hate the mountains, but that place was awesome, so if they like them, it should be great.

10/31/2006 12:07:03 PM

he should go somewhere important to them. like if he remembers where their first date was.

10/31/2006 12:10:16 PM

teh state capitol

10/31/2006 12:16:54 PM

Yeah, wait until the nut drops for new years.

[Edited on October 31, 2006 at 12:27 PM. Reason : but seriously, timing can be as important as location]

10/31/2006 12:27:01 PM

at a carolina hurricanes game

she couldn't say no to stormy!

(not my own personal choice, but she might be down )

10/31/2006 12:27:30 PM

walmart parking lot

10/31/2006 12:34:48 PM

^^ People do that way too much, I think. I saw it at least 3 times last year.

And once, there was a message saying "*Woman's name,* *Man's name* has something important to ask you" on the jumbotron, but then it cut to something else entirely. I kind of wonder what happened there.

Then again, it depends on the person. If she's into that kind of thing, it would be a good idea, even if it is a bit overdone.

10/31/2006 12:47:31 PM

my friend proposed at the top of Court of Carolinas - the full moon traverses an arc above the court below and it also had sentimental meaning for them as well. probably wouldn't be the greatest place for a non-ncsu student though

[Edited on October 31, 2006 at 12:51 PM. Reason : s]

10/31/2006 12:50:56 PM

A hot air balloon ride in the mtns. would be pretty sweet.

10/31/2006 12:56:44 PM

If they went to UNC, the well? If he went to State and her UNC, then at well, but he is pissing on it while proposing.

10/31/2006 1:04:59 PM

It's gotta be somewhere that's meaningful for them...

this bears repeating

10/31/2006 4:06:27 PM

then you should go to Golden Corral!!

10/31/2006 4:20:22 PM

10/31/2006 4:21:38 PM

If she's into wine, hit up a vineyard.

The Grove Park is awesome, but she's going to know whassup if you take her to a hotel that costs ~$400 a night in the peak.

10/31/2006 4:24:51 PM

RUCKUS FUCKING SUCKS

10/31/2006 4:26:38 PM

grovepark

10/31/2006 6:48:25 PM

some place that's not a cliche proposal spot like the grovepark
