Looking for a very special and exotic location for your very boring proposal? Well, you came to the right place! We here at She Said, “That’s It?” Travel Agency we want to provide the most luxurious and jaw-dropping setting for you to fumble one of the biggest moments of your life!

Hawaii
Hawaii is a beautiful location for your mundane proposal. Cozy up under luscious palm trees with your lady before dropping the ring and saying, “Yo babe, pick it up…it’s a ring…it goes on your wedding finger cause I wanna marry you or whatever…” You can swim through the gorgeous blue waters in fun, skimpy bathing suits and while you’re underwater ask her to marry you and she will say “What?”.

Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is a classic wedding destination. You’ll have lots of chances to do scenic boat rides and check out the gorgeous waterfalls. But, instead of popping the question under the waterfall, a great alternative is the hotel lobby. Casually say, “Yo gurl, I took you somewhere special aka I’m finally making an effort…so marry me?” An even better way to propose is by passing Niagara Falls’ most famous lobster restaurant on your way to the vintage McDonalds nearby. Demand the cashier tell your woman, a man wants to marry her after she pays for both double Big Macs with extra cheese and see what she says! What an (Oliver) twist! Can I have some more proposals, please?

Paris
Paris is the perfect place for lovers! You can wander the streets arm in arm eating baguettes and taking in the sights, and when your lady asks you to go to the Eiffel towel, go there and say something beautifully romantic like, “This is a romantic location…marriage or nah?” and wait for the awe-struck smile to spread across her face. Or, if you can’t wait, ask her in the cab with some new French phrases you learned through DuoLingo. “Mariage? J’adore la voiture.” Translated, that’s “Marriage? I love car.”

Venice
Take a gondola ride down the breezy, colorful Venice rivers and make her think you’ll propose by getting on one knee but don’t — chicks love trickery! Venice is also a go-to for romantics who want to engage in the sensual pleasure of Venisian delicacies. While you’re forcing her to pay for 20 real authentic Italian Danishes, turn to her and say, “Thanks for paying gurl, want to pay for stuff forever for me…as my wife?”

New York City
If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere! Take your lady to Times Square, the Statue of Liberty and of course a great Broadway show! Then, while you’re on your way to the B-way show, buy her a hot dog for a dollar and tell her, “This hot dog tastes good…I bet a marriage between us would taste good too…into it???” Wander the crowded and buzzing streets of the melting pot and take in all the city wants to offer. When someone pushes you for walking into them, take that moment to say, “Hey don’t push me! I was about to propose to my GF…hey Claire, whaddya think?”
