Rome is perhaps the most romantic country in the world for a wedding proposal. You'll find plenty of ways to build up to the main event as there's just so much to see and do here. Choose from a stroll around the Coliseum, a spot of hand-holding in the Vatican or feeding each other meatballs a la Lady and the Tramp. However, if we had to pick the best place for an Italian proposal it would be the Trevi Fountain.
Wait until evening when the other tourists have come and gone, and then you will get the best view of the baroque fountain - one of the most famous in the world and the largest in Rome. Tradition tells that if you throw a coin into the fountain then you will be destined to return to the city in years to come so make sure that you and your betrothed have a few spare Euros to hand. Once you've thrown your coins, you may like to mention that the next time you visit Rome might just be for your wedding anniversary. Stand back and watch as the penny drops.
Another place that people often link with romance is Paris. Described by many as the "city of love" it is the perfect place to propose. One of the best ways to get around Paris by bicycle, and this is certainly a romantic way to spend the day. You'll pass Notre Dame, the Louvre, plenty of beautiful gardens and even the iconic Eiffel Tower, so simply pick your moment and propose in the part of Paris that feels right for you.
Once you've popped the question, be sure to head to the Pont de l'Archevch, which crosses the River Seine not far from Notre Dame. This bridge is renowned for its love-locks, which are padlocks placed on the railings of the bridge by lovers to symbolise long-term love and commitment.
Make your love official by engraving your initials on padlock and wishing yourselves luck as you start the rest of your lives together.
