Have you ever witnessed a marriage proposal (strangers in a public space)? We saw Hamilton tonight and as we were exiting we thought we saw the end of a proposal. The theater was emptying out and I told my daughter to catch the end on her phone. Turns out It was the beginning and she got the whole going down on one knee. When they started gathering their things my dd approached and offered to text them the video. They happened to have been sitting next to ds and he said the lady had been super excited to see the show. So it sounds like the man picked a great place to ask. They were thrilled to have the video and asked us to take pictures.

Yes.
Last time I was up in Door County at the northern most mainland town, Gil's Rock at sunset. On the dock.
It's our favorite place to watch a good sunset. This time there were very few people there, and at the end of the dock I witnessed the down on one knee proposal. It was actually pretty sweet.♥️

very cool! The only proposal Ive seen is when my Dad proposed to his wife. And ironically, I wished I *hadnt* seen it.

I'm glad your were able to capture a sweet moment for them.  We saw one at a Padres game last summer. There was a group gathering next to us outside the stadium and one asked a woman to take a photo of them, giving his girlfriend's phone to the woman. I moved so I wouldn't be in the photo and saw a couple of the group hold up a sign with the proposal. The girlfriend took her phone back without looking at the photo, so her boyfriend asked her to check it. She took a quick look, saying "it's good" without reading/seeing the proposal sign.  All the friends were laughing and telling her to take a closer look.  |

Yes! My friends and I went on a momcation trip to Lake Geneva 2 years ago. On our way home, we stopped at one of the lakes to take some silly group photos. 😄. While we were there, we saw a man proposing to his girlfriend. It was so sweet! After they kissed we cheered for them. We offered to take a photo of them but they declined.

I saw one take place in front of Hogwarts Castle at Universal. It was very sweet.

I’m a Disneyland season pass holder and I’ve lost count of how many proposals I’ve seen in front of the castle and at other places in the park. I also live at the beach and have seen a few there.

Main Street Disneyland as it was cleared off waiting for the parade. Right in front of where we were waiting.

Yes, and it was fun. But I did worry what would happen if she said no. LOL
We were in Clearwater Florida, walking on the beach, when guy stopped and asked I would take a photo of him and his girlfriend on this outcrop of rocks. Turns out, I was taking a photo of him proposing. It was cute.

Awww I love that! I've never seen one and never had a fancy proposal, either.

I just saw one in September. It was on the Champ de Mars, end closest to the Eiffel Tower, right at dusk as the twinkle lights came on. They were with a group having a picnic on the green.

Yes. It was at an Avett Brothers concert. They have a song called "January Wedding" and people propose during it.

Yes, at the Washington, DC cherry blossoms this year. Dh and I went down one morning very early to see the sunrise and we saw all sorts of fun things. The proposal -- she said yes and everyone around them clapped -- and wedding photo shoots, and just random photo shoots, and a dancer's photo shoot (ballet)... lots of things going on so early in the morning.

When we were in Italy in September, we were overlooking the Amalfi Coast from the Villa Rufolo Gardens in Ravello. Very romantic place and a great spot to take pictures (we used a picture from this spot of us in our Christmas photo greeting this year.) Anyway as we approached we saw an adorable Asian couple hugging and kissing so we asked them if they would like us to take their picture and they excitedly accepted. Then she held out her hand and told us they had JUST gotten engaged. More people from our tour had arrived at that spot so everyone was congratulating them. |

There's a local park down the street from our house and I go there frequently to exercise. One day I was jogging around the pond when I became aware of a couple there walking. They walked out on the pier and the thought popped in my head that it was a perfect spot for a proposal. Then I saw him drop to his knee. I quickly framed a few nice shots of it from across the pond. By the time I jogged back around to that point, they were taking selfies. I stopped and offered them the shots I had taken and asked if I could play photographer for them. We reenacted a bit of the proposal and they were so sweet and cute. It really made my day!
