The destination proposal is one of the most memorable ways to pop the question -- and extremely impressive, as well. Disguised as a planned vacation, it offers a beautiful backdrop, the element of surprise, and the help at hand to make sure the event goes off perfectly.

First, choose a location that has significance. The most popular destinations are Hawaii, the Caribbean, France, Italy, and Mexico. These locales have some of the best hotels, resorts, and restaurants in the world, plus are all home to fabulous sights and landmarks. Next, select the backdrop to your proposal. A romantic dinner on the beach in Grand Cayman, a stroll through the Louvre Museum in Paris, a round of golf in Kauai, or an intimate picnic lunch in Cancun are all fantastic scenarios for a memorable proposal. You should have most of your arrangements intact before you arrive at your destination, so contact someone in advance who is in a position to assist you locally. Hotels and resorts will often have an event planner or concierge that can assist you with everything from recommendations and reservations to arranging the fine details.Finally, take special precautions to safeguard the ring while you're traveling. Be sure it’s in a safe, secure place so that it won't be lost or damaged, but also where it is unlikely that she will stumble across it.
Take some time to put your most honest effort and thought into the planning and she will love telling your proposal story again and again.
