The Perfect Beach Trip
Days at the beach epitomize summer love, so why not ask the big question there? As a rule, the beach should have clear blue water and gorgeous sand. (No dirty tourist beaches!) This proposal at a Hawaiian beach is perfect.

Sentimental Scrapbook Proposal
Summer can also be a time of reminiscing, and the best way to relive memories together is with a relationship scrapbook. Go out on a bench, look through your scrapbook, and add a new page for your engagement.

Museum, Maybe?
Looking through a museum is a popular way to spend summer days indoors, but the scenery outside is often just as beautiful. Find a reflecting pool, garden, or beautiful architecture, and make sure there are pictures to remember your gorgeous engagement.
