1. Kemah Boardwalk

Perhaps the most mesmerizing sunset location in Houston, Kemah Boardwalk has quiet, lapping water and lots of stylish restaurants nearby to celebrate in style after you’ve heard the magical word ‘yes’. By using a small amount of imagination you can easily invent any number of reasons to wander down and so lull your partner to accompany you without them knowing why you are both really there.

2. Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park

This amazing space to propose provides a high rise wall of vertically cascading water to act as an elegant backdrop for your big question. Go to the Gerald D.
