A (Romantic) Night at the Museum

I’ll be the first to admit that museums aren't for everyone.  It takes a certain kind of curiosity and understanding of the subject (be it art, dinosaurs, sculptures, etc.) to truly appreciate the various exhibitions on display.  But when it comes to matters of the heart, museums provide a backdrop like no other.  After all, where else does history and reverence collide the way they do inside these rich hollow spaces?  So, if you would rather have paintings and the stars do the asking for you, take a look at four adorable marriage proposal ideas at museums.  

Sounds Like Love

Book a tour at an arts museum where they allow you to display your own personal work of art and have it incorporated into the private tour. But this won't be just any ol' work of art that you created in a painting class. It will be a portrait of your own sound waves as they "appear" when you say the words, "Will you marry me [insert name]?" Let's just call this modern interpretive art. As the tour nears its final destination, approach your personal painting and have your partner read the portrait's accompanying caption as you wait with bated breath.

Written in the Stars

Whether you are destined to be soul mates or not, your proposal can at least be written in the stars -- literally.  Luckily, the US boasts some of the best planetariums in the world where you can profess your love.  As you're gazing at the stars above, surprise your partner with a question that shines as brightly as the ring you're about to put on her hand. 

Love on Exhibition    

In this age of Instagram, where everyone is a self-prescribed "photographer," post your girlfriend's photos where they can truly be oohed and aahed.  Museums of photography offer the perfect opportunity to present your personal photos on exhibition.  Surprise her with a tour of her own collection, and end it with a photo of you holding a ring.

  

She's a Gem 

Think your ring deserves to be in the spotlight?  Then look no further.  The Field Museum allows you to place your engagement ring inside a dedicated case within the gallery, along with a personal message, special lighting within the case, and a champagne toast.  And that's just for starters.  If the love of your life is a diamond in the rough, then give her a ring that sparkles like the gem she truly is.

A Wicked Romantic Proposal

When Fabian started his job as the Chief of Legal Department at the ICBEU, he knew he had found his calling, but what he didn't expect to also find there was his future wife.  Claudia joined the university as the Head of Public Elementary School, and was also studying law part-time.  Over the course of their four year relationship, they learned that their shared passion for law and education was just one of the many interests they had in common.  What started off as a working relationship quickly turned into a relationship that essentially needed no work on their part (Fabian likes to brag they've never had a fight in the span of four years!).  

So when Fabian booked their next vacation to NYC to revel in the city's award-winning musicals and top-rated restaurants, he knew that it would be the quintessential spot to ask the one question that had been lingering on his mind.  NYC offered the right recipe for this sweet concoction but Fabian was missing one key ingredient: a marriage proposal planner to make it all happen.

Cue: Ever After Proposals.

We started by discussing their awe-inspiring relationship and Claudia's affinity for the finer things in life to help spark proposal ideas.  That was the easy part.  Once Fabian selected the proposal option that best suited the couple, Ever After Proposals planned out the meticulous details over the course of two months.

The evening began with a little white lie (as most great proposals do):  when Fabian and Claudia arrived at the box office for the musical, Wicked, they were told they had been been selected for a "random act of kindness" by the producers of the show.  With this prize, they receive a personal backstage tour, followed by a horse carriage ride to Hotel Plaza Athenee, where they will enjoy a romantic five course meal by a private chef, accompanied by a violinist -- all in their very own Penthouse Suite.  As the evening progressed and led up to that final moment on the balcony underneath the open sky, Claudia realized that each "random act" was in fact, an oh-so-methodically-planned-out moment just for her.
