Top 15 Worst Ways To Propose in the New York City Metro Area
August 28 2005
as written by Justin Bassett mostly and finished by Susan Loyd (which is why the explanations get a little shorter toward the end) please feel free to expound upon any that you feel led to!
In light of recent engagements amongst friends and in our church, the BCI team has put together a sort-of “how not to†propose list. The bottom line is that there are several ways to propose in New York City, as we all know, its one of the most romantic cities in the world! But, there are definitely ways not to propose. Therefore, we have put together the...
Top 15 Worst Ways To Propose in the New York City Metro Area:
15.) During a Mets Game.
Seriously, if you are thinking of going with the whole baseball scene, maybe think about the Yankees instead. One world series versus 26!
14.) In a row boat in the Passaic
While the Passaic River may look kind of like the river on The Notebook, trust me its not. It was actually voted by some scientists as the most polluted river in the world! If one of you fell in, you might grow another arm! If you do decide to visit this historic location, visit BCI located one block away! Pray for our appendages!
13.) Staten Island Ferry
Public transit is cool, but seriously guys, not for a proposal. There are several methods of transportation listed here, and this is the least worst way. On the plus side, its free and you get to see the Statue of Liberty.
12.) Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest
For that matter, any hotdog vender, Gray’s Papaya, or any hot dog anything! It may sound like a good idea to us guys, but take it from a married man, its not.
11.) Secaucus Junction
This is the Mecca of the New Jersey Transit System! However, its not the place to propose. In fact, the New Jersey Transit is just not the place for a proposal.
10.) Taxi Cab
I watched a report on the Today Show, a scientist proved that these urban chariots are the dirtiest places in NYC. In the back of a cab, a germ swab can reveal anything from fecal bacteria to hepatitis! Gross! Not the place to propose!
9.) Flushing Meadows Corona Park
On theknot.com, the #1 web site for engaged couples, begins with each couples engagement story. Seriously guys, you don’t want to have your fiancé to have to start her engagement story with the word “flushingâ€. Great spot for Billy Graham...not a great spot for the proposal.
8.) Double-Decker Tourist Bus
Honestly, I think I just have a personal vendetta against these things!
7.) The Today Show
Please don’t be one of those guys who holds up a poster on the Today Show asking your girlfriend to marry you. (not to mention that if she’s at home watching TV and you’re at the today show, shouldn’t she be living it up in NYC with you?)
6. ) on a subway
there is nothing romantic about the subways, especially because they all smell like toilet.
5.) toys r us ferris wheel
save that one for the kiddies
4.) New Jersey
‘nuf said
3.) the back rooms of China town
shady, shady
2.) Starbucks
there are way too many of them; you may ask her to meet you at one and then you never actually see each other because you’ve both been to 5 different locations
1.) In front of Tiffany and CO with a ring that’s not from Tiffanys
if you have the guts to propose at Tiffany’s you have to be ready to shell out the big ones for a ring from there. (DO NOT bring your little CZ ring from Wal-Mart to NYC to propose)
We hope that you enjoy our list we put together. Much fun was had in the making of it!
