re: NOLA Suggestions for friend looking to propose

I would do it before dinner. Commander's is such a wonderful place for a celebratory meal. The meal will be so much more fun if the proposal has already taken place especially if your friend let's the restaurant know that they will be arriving after the proposal.
I don't know where to go before. Maybe in front of the Catherdral? Wherever it is, I'd setting it up by asking someone around to take a picture of the two of them, but when handing the person the phone, tell them to video instead. Smile for the picture and then he can drop to one knee.

Check out Hot Tin Rooftop bar. It has one of the best views of the city.

Line up a carriage ride out of Commander's.

I love this idea.

Goldmine player.
Drop the ring right in a flaming Dr. Pepper...BUT don't let her swallow the ring. I'm sure the bartender can help you figure that out.
What a great way to start a marriage
ETA Sorry bout that got turned around and thought this was an OT thread...carry on...BTW did you consider posting this on the OT?

I don't understand this at all. Finding the setting to propose is really more important than the ring at that one moment. I can't believe he's going to leave this up to a buddy to figure out for him. Did she pick the ring out? What's wrong with men these days?
He has some time. He's asking for suggestions because he's not from the NOLA area and wants to do it there.
Heaven forbid someone isn't EXACTLY LIKE YOU

Just half-arse it then, by all means. Just saying...it's literally the only thing a man has to do in the whole ordeal.
I scouted a remote location on the California coast, scheduled the day off and took my bride to be on "picnic", hid the champagne under the food and asked her to take a walk with me after lunch...so no shite everyone isn't exactly like me. Some individuality is called for in a once in a lifetime event though, my comment is simply that.
ETA: Powerman closing out the thread with thick irony...nice.

Or have a friend hiding in the area who will suddenly appear to film.
When my niece's husband proposed, they were walking to a restaurant for an alleged family meal. (I don't think either of them realized at the time that the restaurant wasn't even open that night.) Most of his family and our family were hiding behind a wall in the area. There was a photographer and someone to video. He suddenly turned toward that area and dropped to his knee. We all ran out and got to see it happen. The video is priceless and the photos are too. She was stunned! We took lots of group pictures afterward and then we all went to another (open) restaurant for dinner, drinks and champagne toasts. It was so much fun!

Rehearsal dinner can be a project for the groom. If he gets accepted!

So he's half assing it by planning it in advance and asking for some friendly advice?
Seems like you're just a stupid judgmental prick to me
