    When will you be in London. Somewhere that is a tiny bit public but not on the same scale as some of those mentioned is the top of St Paul's Cathedral. Has some of the most amazing views of London and if you have walked all the way up is quite some reward!

    The Golden Gallery which is the highest gallery and where you go outside is closed for renovation until the end of April though. Even if you don't want to propose there I'd definitely recommend giving it a visit! ;) Think last entry to the galleries is around 15.30
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    We will be there Apr 29 thru May 8, and are gonna go to Manchester sometime between those dates as well.

    Thanks for the advice re: St. Pauls...that sounds like a good idea!

    We've already overloaded ourselves with gigs planned every night, but we will have plenty of time to knock about during the day.

    OK I'll bite...

    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Well, the more I think about it, perhaps a public proposal may be a bit much, so I think I have narrowed it down to:

    Some sort of boat on the Thames

    or

    Privately propose backstage at a show by one of our favorite bands. I hopefully will be able to get the band to surprise her and congratulate us after she says yes (hopefully!)


    My crazy brain also came up with a few other ideas.....post an advert in the tube station, and then have a busker sing us a song.
    the boat trip on the Thames IS lovely and quite romantic... even though I was with a female friend :mrgreen: if you get one when it's just getting dark and wait til all the lights come on and it's really pretty.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    Onstage or backstage at one of our favorite band's local concert (a pretty well-known band)?

    Having the singer propose for me from the stage?

    At a show in the UK?

    On the tube in the UK? (would have to hope that no one tries to steal the rock afterwards!)

    Are these ideas too flashy, or not private enough?

    Thanks!
    My ideal marriage proposal would be for him to rent a white horse and ride up like a knight in shining armor and propose. My ex knows this and always tells me I was the only girl he really ever loved and I tell him that he knows what he has to do. He says, "the white horse thing?" and I say, yes". I am with someone else now and have been for 9 years, and I wouldn't leave him for my ex, but I tell my ex this anyway.
    The ex won't lower himself to that, so I guess he doesn't love me enough.
    Save room for dessert!

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.
