And naturally, everyone wants to have the perfect proposal. Most of the girl's friends and family will want to know every detail, and with the perfect proposal, she will be excited to tell them all the details. But there are so many details to plan. What should you say, what should you wear, and most importantly, where should you pop the question? The first step should often be where to propose. Once you have that detail decided, the rest will follow. Here are some perfect locations that will be the most romantic places for you to propose marriage to her.

The Des Moines Botanical Center is a beautiful garden that offers a romantic setting for any marriage proposal. There are many spots within the center where you can pull your love aside, drop to one knee, and propose. There are bridges, gazebos, and other places set among the lovely flowers that provide the ultimate location for a beautiful proposal. Sundays throughout February, they bring in various jazz musicians, so you will even be able to propose with beautiful music playing in the background. Remember that because this is a public facility, their hours only extend to 5PM, so if you are planning a proposal here, you will need to plan to do so early in the day. Despite this, it's one of the most romantic settings in all of Des Moines. The Des Moines Botanical Center is located at 909 Robert D. Ray Drive, and their phone number is (515)323-6290.

The cost is no greater than an average hotel room, and you can spend an hour there, snuggling in the seat with the person who just agreed to become your fiancee. When she tells her friends that you rented the entire carousel just so you could propose, they will be amazed at the time and effort you put into your proposal. The carousel is located on Des Moines' East Side in Union Park on Pennsylvania Avenue, and their phone number is (515)323-8200.
