Where to Propose in Philadelphia

Choosing where to propose can be a harrowing experience for a man-this story is going to be told thousands of times over the next few months and in your lifetime. Make the story good-give your future wife something to be proud about, a story that will make her want to gather her friends around the water-cooler to tell, a tale that she won't grimace about, and a memory she will truely teasure.

1) JKF Plaza (Love Park)-Any Philadelphian knows the famous "LOVE" sculpture but the park is truly one of the best places to propose. After all, the sculpture has already provided most of the words you want to say. There's also great views of the city which are sure to be awe-inspiring.

2) Citizens Bank Park-If she's the type of gal whose idea of a night out is heading to the ballgame, consider proposing at the home of the Phillies! Guests can propose marriage at a game live on PhanaVision! Package includes four tickets to the game so you can invite some friends or family, live coverage of the proposal on the left field video board, a champagne toast and a commemorative DVD for $350. Plan ahead for this one-be sue to call ahead! To schedule, call the Sales Office of the Phillies at 215-463-5000.

3) Fly over Philadelphia and give her a birds-eye view of the City of Brotherly Love. Try an open-air airplane ride and propose in style. http://www.biplaneridesoverphiladelphia.com/

4) Shower her with flowers (or at least a floral atmosphere.) If she's always expected to have this event in an area surrounded by roses and other horticultural wonders. The Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania boasts 92 acres with different themes including formal rose garden, Japanese gardens, swan pond, meadows, and an elegant Fernery. www.morrisarboretum.org

5) Rittenhouse Square Park-Start off with dinner at Le-Bec Fin or grab a picnic dinner. The park is a nice change of pace from the hectic city life. Afterwards head for drinks at one of the gazillion bars and restaurants around.
