#10. The United Kingdom
Home to the four nations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island, the United Kingdom has plenty to offer. It’s perfect for a quiet wedding in quaint little village town or a bigger wedding on a grand estate. Whatever your preference, look no further than the UK for a truly cultural wedding or, as the Brits would say, a splendid time.
#9. Sydney, Australia

Sydney has been voted the most generous, friendliest and most beautiful harbour city in the world by international travellers. It’s relaxed outdoor lifestyle, spectacular beaches and iconic Sydney Opera house, make a wonderful backdrop for the wedding of a lifetime.
#8. Prague, Czech Republic// Greece
In joint eighth place is Prague and Greece.
If you prefer to immerse yourself in rich history and culture, Prague could be the right place for you to say, “I do.” Prague can offer you locations ranging from beautiful gardens and Chateaux to historic palaces and sanctuaries.
Greece is one of the most popular travel spots in Europe. You’ll love it’s delicious mediterranian climate, colorful scenery and rich, blue coastline. If you think it’d be kind of cool to get married where the modern alphabet was invented and where you can find coastal villages tucked in cliffs, Greece might be the place for you.
#6. France
Add that certain je ne sais quoi to your wedding celebration with a ceremony in France. Whether you choose a charming Village, a winery, a Chateaux or the Eiffel tower, a wedding in France is sure to make for a memorable day.
#5. Fiji // Hamptons, USA
Perhaps you would like to profess your undying love somewhere between Palm trees, fragrant flowers and breath-taking beaches. In the middle of our list, we have the beautiful, South Pacific Island country of Fiji, famous for coral diving and a leader in eco-tourism.
Home to the rich and famous and the vacation spot for the New York elite, Hamptons, USA is tied with Fiji for our number 5 destination for a wedding abroad. Plan a day at a Waterside Marina, celebrate in a beautiful resort or set up a tent in a lush, green knoll.
#3. The Grenadines Islands
It is always a good idea to make your way to the Caribbean for your special day. The Grenadines is formed by a chain of 600 beautiful islands. Say your I do’s on a white coral beach, in a luxury villa, or in an island church.
#2. Jamaica

#10 – The Street Busker
Take your special someone out on the town, maybe at that cafe you had your first date or in that park you first locked eyes. Afterwards, go on a walk. As you reminisce about all the wonderful times you’ve had together, you just happen to walk by a street busker (wink wink) singing the lyrics of their favorite song. You would have arranged with the street busker to edit a part of the song lyrics to, “Will you marry me?” As you and the street busker sing that line, get down on one knee.
#9 – A surprise in print
Spell out your proposal where they will not expect it – a fake newspaper, a menu at their favorite restaurant, that puzzle book they love to solve… Just remember to do it on a piece of paper your partner actually reads so the surprise isn’t awkwardly incorporated into your day.
#8 – Just like the movies
Speak to your local movie theatre and arrange for your proposal to be shown during the previews. It could be a sentimental picture show of special moments the both of you have shared. As soon as your proposal comes on screen, get on one knee.
#7 – Written in the stars
Look up skywriting businesses in your area or hire a plane to fly a “Will you marry me” banner. Profess your love in the sky while enjoying a romantic meal on the beach.
#6 – Locally Grown
This one involves getting to know your local farmers (or owning a random piece of land). Take your beloved on a helicopter ride. Arrange to have the words, “Will you marry me” followed by their name, landscaped over a field as you fly by. Don’t forget to take pictures! You’ll want to remember seeing it from cloud 9.
#5 – A taste of romance
Plan a romantic gateway with your beloved. Arrange with hotel staff to ensure your proposal goes off without a hitch. Work with the venue to prepare a special menu comprising of your beloved’s favourite foods. After a romantic dinner with your special someone, have the waiter bring the ring with desert while you get down on one knee and propose.
#4 – Fun and games
Get your favourite group of people together for a nice night of board games like Pictionary, taboo, or trival pursuit. On you and your beloved’s turn to play, draw, act out or ask your proposal instead.
#3 – Puzzles
Have a jig saw or cross word puzzle made especially for your beloved and have your beloved solve it. The puzzle should spell out your proposal. This also doubles as a keep-sake that can be framed. Remember to get down on one knee once your proposal is revealed.
#2 – The Karaoke Proposal
Get your family and friends together for a night out to a karaoke bar. Boldly take the stage and sing your beloved’s favourite song, or any song that has special meaning to both of you. After the song, get down on one knee and ask them to marry you.
#1 – The Flash Mob
Organise a flash mob at a place significant to your relationship. Some good spots could be the place you first met, in front of a museum, or at a special landmark. Towards the end of the mob, join in the routine, get down on your knee and propose.
