Top Five Marriage Proposal Spots

I’m looking for suggestions for the best marriage proposal spots.

She chose the ring, now I want to surprise my fiancée with the creative location to give it to her while I propose. Any ideas?

–Name Withheld, East Greenwich, RI

Of course, you know that I am going to recommend Newport and Aquidneck Island for the locations of my most favorite top five marriage proposal spots.

Marriage is a journey and starting that adventure in a splendid place that has a memorable backdrop will make the proposal a perfectly great beginning. Not in any particular order, because I love them all, here they are:

Norman Bird Sanctuary: Hike out to hanging rock and propose with the panoramic view of the Atlantic and its coastline.
Horseback riding on Second Beach for the ultimate equine experience.
Narragansett Bay sunset sail on a Twelve Meter or catamaran as the sun begins to set coloring the sky with red, pink and salmon hues.
Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge: Walk out to the farthest promontory while watching the birds fishing in the Atlantic Ocean.
Sky Bar at the Clarke Cooke House: Reserve a table overlooking the harbor. The most romantic restaurant.
