When you think of Los Angeles, you think about sunshine, beaches, celebrities, etc. But you don’t think about ice. But when you are trying to figure out how to propose in LA, you should. There is a very quaint ice skating rink right in the middle of Santa Monica that is the perfect place to propose in the winter.
In 2011, we had a client named Leigh who came to us for Proposal Planning. He had taken his girlfriend Stefanie ice skating on one of their first dates. She was way better than him and at one point he even fell down while skating. She purposely fell down next to him and Leigh jokes that that is when she “fell for him”. Stefanie’s nickname was also petal so we came up with a beautiful proposal concept.
As Leigh and Stefanie ice skated, a song came on that Leigh knew was his cue to get off the rink for 4 minutes. During that 4 minutes, The Heart Bandits ran out onto the rink and spelled out “Stefanie Will You Marry Me?” in rose petals. Leigh brought her back on the rink and that is when their song began to play. He skated her over to the message and got down on one knee and proposed. All of her friends came out to surprise and congratulate her. What do you think? Pictures are courtesy of Newly LA.
