Marriage proposal?....

[TexasCatholic]

Hi guys,

I posted in OBOB about this, but someone suggested I come here, too. I don't want to re-hash what I've already said, so here's the previous thread:

Maybe you guys might have some suggestions, comments, etc.

Short version:
I'm thinking of asking my girlfriend to marry me. We've dated off-and-on for about 3 years, but pretty seriously for the past year solid. We are taking a trip together to visit my dad in another state in a few weeks. On our last visit there, we visited (in a touristy-manner) a gorgeous cathedral. I wanted to attend mass there, but we were late for the daily mass. This time, we're visiting on a weekend and I'd like to attend Sunday mass there and perhaps propose on the steps... I don't want it to be too elaborate, but I want it to be nice... this is the church... these are the steps... The only downside is we cannot be married in this church as it's 1,000 miles away and probably booked for a decade to come

Thoughts?

That is very pretty! Are you planning on just walking outof the service and popping down on one knee right there while everyone else is walking out also? I think it would be a beautiful place to propose but if I was proposed to, I would want to be alone with the person, so do it at a time when there aren't people walking by everywhere being distracting. Best wishes!

I agree with faithfulservant,

You should propose but do it when you two have a moment to yourselves at the church (especially if you know she may be a private person). Wow i'm really happy for you I'm sure she'll say "Yes!!!"
