If you have finally found that special someone, and you are getting ready to pop the biggest question of your life, then you are also probably looking for the perfect place for such an important question. You want to find something romantic, memorable and special enough to make sure that she'll say yes. The most important part, when it comes to a proposal, is to keep it personal. Don't jump right into the biggest and most elaborate proposal. Instead, find something personal and special that means something to you both, showing that you really care, and she'll find it impossible to say anything other than "yes!"

Larimer Square
1430 Larimer St.
Denver, CO 80211

When evening falls and the lights on Larimer Square turn on, this one block is one of the most beautiful spots in Denver. It also helps that it's the oldest and most historic block in town, dating back to 1858 when the settlers first started heading west in search of gold. Larimer Square was once home to the first bank, first bookstore and first dry goods store in Denver, so why not make it the home of the first big event in your future marriage? To avoid the big crowds, make your proposal plans for a weeknight, and make sure to wait until after dark when the lights are on and the block is at its most beautiful.
