Wanted: Romantic Lakefront Location For Engagement Proposal!

Not that it was a huge surprise, but she said yes. I did it in the gazebo at Church Landing. After a gormet breakfast, a 50 minute massage and manicure at the Cascade spa, a picnic, a walk and a short dance, I proposed. I have a few pictures if anyone's interested. I hired a photographer to hide in the bushes and shoot pictures of it. Afterwards, a limo took us back to wolfeboro.

Thank you all for your input. You were a huge help.

Congratulations! Sounds like it was wonderfully romantic! Now, did you mention getting ideas from here or -- I hope, at least for now -- take all of the credit for yourself?

My apologies for the delay, but better safe than sorry

Thanks to everyone who gave some great ideas and made this a fantastic memory for my wife and I! (on August 15, 2006)... hahah

Here are the pictures. Most were from a photographer hired to shoot while hidden throughout the day.

Well done.

While I didn't get engaged there, we did take our engagement pictures there and they look VERY similar to some of yours!

Congrats.

Beejhorton:

May I suggest you save this thread for your album. I think this will become an important part of the story you tell in the future about how you proposed.

Happy future!

To funny, the reaction I got when I dropped to one knee was something a kin too "what are you doing, you look ridiculous".... followed by a repeat of the same line with the ring in front of her face.... followed by a OMG!!!!.... and last was the best line of the night..... " I think I am going to be sick " apparently surprising her at the front door was just way to much excitement. Don't worry my special lady didn't get sick, and we will be married in May......

Now back to the interest of this thread.... glad to hear things went well the pictures are wonderful... my you future together continue to prosper.....
