Combine that with the holidays and you have the ideal atmosphere to make memories that will be sure to last the rest of your lives. Below are some winter proposal ideas that will be sure to bring you enough memories to last a lifetime.
Decorating the tree
Decorating your tree can be a festive bonding experience between you and your partner.

Incorporating your proposal into a holiday tradition will be such a nice surprise that she’ll cherish forever.
Sleigh ride
Whether you’re in NYC’s Central Park, visiting a hometown, or took a spontaneous trip to someplace special to you both, a romantic carriage ride through any city is a truly magical and memorable occasion. There is a reason they put it in the movies-it just works! There’s something so intimate and magical about getting engaged while riding along in the winter snow.
