Before You Pop The Question, Choose a Place That’ll Make Your Sweetie’s Heart Skip a Beat
Pssst. All you lovers out there feeling the matrimonial urge – this post is for you.
You’ve shopped the ring. You’ve practiced dropping to one knee and rehearsing how you will pop the question. Now it’s time to put some effort into the last piece of the equation – finding the right place to propose. Have you thought about where to do it? Do you have a place in mind where you will ask the love of your life to renounce all others ’til death do you part?
If your answer involves the Jumbotron during halftime at a football stadium or basketball arena, think again. Instead, choose a place a little less known and a lot more romantic. A place like The Palm Beaches. Now all you have to do is pick the special place. Here are some places to get engaged in The Palm Beaches.
Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse – Is this person the light of your life? Then make sure your partner knows this by popping the question at this historic 1860 lighthouse. You can reserve two spaces on the monthly sunset tours or moonrise tours, or work with the staff to set up a special private visit.
Morikami Museum & Japanese Gardens – A romantic and tranquil place to propose. Choose from one of six gardens inspired by famous gardens in Japan. All six gardens are conceived and constructed in the spirit of the masters.
Cafe L'Europe – Another great spot for foodies. Impress your fiance-to-be at this elegant restaurant close to the sea. Cafe L'Europe offers fine china, sparkling crystal, indulgent fare and amazing wines in an exquisite setting.
Cafe Boulud – Famed chef Daniel Boulud has 17 restaurants worldwide, and one of them is in Palm Beach. Cafe Boulud is located in the historic Brazilian Court Hotel and its French-American menu parallels that of Café Boulud New York, with a touch of South Florida resort flavor. An excellent setting to ask for a hand in marriage.
Deep in the Everglades – If you’re both into nature and saving the ecosystems, hook up with Airboat Rides of West Palm Beach for a two-hour excursion into the awe-inspiring Everglades. Choose from one of many stops along the way to pop the question.
Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens – The home/gardens of famed sculptor Ann Weaver Norton is a true gem. The place contains monumental sculptures built directly in the gardens, which invoke mystery and surprise as you happen upon them while walking through rare palms.
Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa – They say romance is always in the air at Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa, a tranquil oceanfront escape that can be the perfect backdrop for popping the question. The only question you’ll have to ask yourself is where to do it? There’s the spa, or the beachfront restaurant, or the secluded beach or the island-inspired accommodations.
John D. MacArthur Beach State Park – If your sweetie is the outdoors type, a great place to get engaged is Palm Beach County’s only state park. It is hidden away from the hustle and bustle. In fact, it requires a tram ride or a 10-minute walk to access the beach. Options include snorkeling, kayaking, hiking or taking in a romantic moonlight concert at the amphitheater.
Society of The Four Arts Botanical Garden – Originally designed in 1938, these gardens provide a beautiful and tranquil setting seven days a week to propose marriage in The Palm Beaches.
