IDK if this is an unpopular opinion but why is proposing in front of the Eiffel Tower considered the ultimate gesture of romance for some people? It's just a superficial tourist attraction lmao. There's so many more romantic places out there to propose honestly.

Paris has a strange hold over people

People love these big ass romantic gestures. It's like proposing on NYE or someones birthday or Christmas. At the end of the day most humans are not super creative LOL

When one of my friends was planning to propose to his girlfriend, he talked to me about a bunch of ideas he had (I specifically remember one of the options was on a hot air balloon ride). He was leaning hard towards doing it on Thanksgiving and I was like NO, YOU PUNKASS.

I understand it a tiny bit more if your family members are scattered all over the country or the world and this holiday is the one time all year that everyone is together, but even then I still say no. Propose on another day and then you can celebrate it with your family when you gather for that holiday.

Because Paris is the ~city of romance~ or whatever.

I loved Paris when I went but ITA, there are better places to have a proposal

[martha_cf]

I hated parisian people (the racism!), came out of there thinking that being proposed in hell would be more romantic.

I love(d) travelling, been all over and Paris is the only city that's made me cry bc of how strangers treated me, so I hate the people too. I did fucking love the food though so it wasnt a total bust.

Her paternal grandmother is/was French & she has French citizenship through her. Maybe that's why he proposed there? Or maybe that what she wanted?

[rubie_dubidoux]

yeah she's clearly got a connection to France, she even lived there briefly to learn the language (and had her second wedding there I'm pretty sure lol)

French-Canadian (Quebec) is different from France though

I think they went the "town of romance" route.

Her Paternal GrandFATHER is from Quebec

[renner4ever]

But he married a Frenchwoman when he was stationed in France during WWII. Avril's father was born in an airbase in France.

I don’t even want to get proposed there tbh. Lovely as it is but like… surely there’s somewhere that really set the right mood to do it. Doesn’t have to be so fancy or whatever.

The 🔐 on that bridge had to be taken off because it got too heavy that the bridge could collapse at any moment. So much for a nice gesture of romance and eternal love

[likeanunmadebed]

L'Amour!!!

[cosmic_starz]

Yeah, I've never been entranced with Paris... but somewhere in Italy or Spain? Take me there!

It’s not even remotely nice near the Eifel tower anymore with all the anti terrorism shit set up near it. Last time I went, you couldn’t even just walk under it anymore

[maidenhell]

I was there in 2019 and I feel the same. It's just not what it used to be, sadly.
