This is the year. You’re finally ready. You found the perfect platinum and rose gold halo diamond engagement ring that she’s had her eye on for months and now you want to make sure the proposal is one for the record books. You’ve waited your entire life for her and want to do something she’ll remember forever. The following list of extraordinary places to propose marriage this Christmas should provide the inspiration you’ve been searching for…

Motu Teta, Rangiroa, Tahiti: If money isn’t an issue, go ahead and escape to the privacy of your own island for an entire week and propose in style. For a mere $26,000 you’ll enjoy absolute seclusion, all meals and drinks, and daily excursions if you choose to leave engagement bliss.

ICEHOTEL, Sweden: The Robbins Brothers lighted ring box will come in handy when you pop the question at ICEHOTEL near the Arctic Circle, where 24 hours of darkness is the norm in winter.  Be sure to ask for a double-sized sleeping bag and a bottle of vodka before you call it a night.

Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica: Frommer’s lists the top of this volcano with a 360-degree view as a fabulous place to get engaged. The nearby Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort provides a stunning respite after a day of pre-proposal jitters and hiking through the lush rain forest.

Kruger National Park, South Africa: Does she sing “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” every year? Go on safari at one of Africa’s best maintained parks and propose with hippos, lions, elephants, rhinos and giraffes surrounding you. (Your engagement pictures will likely be the envy of all of her friends.)

North Pole, Alaska: Put on a Santa suit and propose in a city where they celebrate Christmas year round. Stay at the romantic Fairbanks Princess Riverside Lodge nearby and gaze at the famous Northern Lights from your room.

Lake Como, Italy: When a Roman wants to propose marriage in the most memorable of ways he takes his beloved to Lago di Como. Do as these old-school romantics do and book a room at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, order a bottle of Champagne and slip the diamond engagement ring on her finger as the sun sets over the lake.
