- Mount Bonnell (Austin)

- Gondola Adventures (Irving)
gondola.com If you really want to take your partner’s breath away, you should consider taking him or her on a gondola ride through the waterways of Irving. You’ll only see a few paddleboarders and pedal boats along the way, providing the perfect setting to pop the question.
- Enchanted Rock (Fredericksburg)

- Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
Rough Tough, Real Stuff/Flickr With 70 acres of beautiful gardens overlooking White Rock Lake, you can find several secluded places in the gardens to pop the question.
- Any of our beaches at sunset.
Jim Denham/Flickr Is there anything more romantic than getting down on one knee to ask for your lover’s hand in marriage on an evening stroll at the beach? Not in my book!
- Lover’s Leap in Cameron Park (Waco)
Bill McNeal/Flickr Another beautiful view of the hill country with the Brazos River below..at sunset, this would make a truly unforgettable place to propose.
- Big Bend National Park
Robbie/Flickr There are countless secluded spots to propose in the Big Bend, and all are guaranteed to completely floor your lover as you get down on one knee to ask the question of a lifetime.
- Waterwall at Williams Tower (Houston)

- Japanese Gardens in Hermann Park (Houston)

- Love’s Lookout (Jacksonville)
QuesterMark/Flickr This scenic ridge offers unmatched views of the forests of East Texas, and makes a great spot for a marriage proposal, as well.
- Marriage Island, Riverwalk (San Antonio)
Wikipedia/Isnapm This heart-shaped islet on the riverwalk in San Antonio in front of the Hotel Contessa hosts more than 200 weddings a year. It’s said to bring good luck to marriages, so I think it would offer the same good fortune for proposals as well.
- Tyler Rose Gardens
Amy the Nurse/Flickr I don’t think you can go wrong here; I mean, just look at this beautiful view!
- Hamilton Pool (Dripping Springs)
Dave Wilson/Flickr If you can get this hidden grotto to yourselves, I couldn’t imagine a more memorable place to get down on one knee.
