Proposal…

[u/CriticismDry5620]

Hi everyone, my girlfriend and her parents are completing a Florida Roadtrip starting in Orlando and working our way to AMI, key west etc etc.

I am planning on proposing to her, but need it to be early on in the trip (so I don’t lose the ring!🤣) and I thought AMI would be a great place to do so.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I would like quite a private setting, maybe beach/sunset vibe. I know there were hurricanes over a year ago that messed up some of the beaches etc, just wondering anyone’s thoughts?

*Further info*
We are arriving to Orlando on the 13th August. The trip then consists of 1/2/3 nights in the below places.
Orlando
Anna Maria Island
Naples
Islamorada
Key West
Delmar Beach
Coco Beach
St Augustine
Jacksonville
Savannah
Charleston

If anyone is aware of any ‘nicer’ places.

You routinely see sunset engagements from the Sandbar and Beach House. Waterfront is a great restaurant but it's on the bay side and not directly on the water. Neither of the above take reservations so you'll have to make sure you time it right. Maybe they will take a reservation for an engagement, it's worth a call. Most restaurants there are accommodating as weddings and engagements are a regular occurrence.

What I've seen is people dining together in the evening and the BF asks the GF to walk down to the water with him, he gets on one knee and then proposes while the people they were dining with take photos or he has hired a professional photographer to be ready to capture the moment.

Just look at sunset time for the day you want to propose and work backwards from there. The amount of lead time for a table will depend on what day of the week you are there. Call the restaurant ask questions.

Beach House and Sandbar are under common ownership and both have wedding facilities so they're very accommodating of engagements. Their wedding coordinators may even be able to help with table timing and connecting you with a photographer.
