A long walk on any one of Los Angeles' sterling beaches would be the ideal fall location for popping that all-important question. However, arguably the most romantic of all is Malibu's El Matador Beach. Think stunning coastal backdrop, wild rock formations and small nooks nestled under mighty cliffs that make for meaningful moments like that precious proposal. Bring along a blanket so you can recline comfortably to seal this deal with as many kisses as you two can handle out in full view of nothing but the bright blue Pacific.

Think about how special it would be to stage your proposal over a lovely gourmet spread within eye shot of the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel while enjoying an exotic coy pond and a regal stone fountain as the immediate background. After all, fall in LA brings beautiful weather, so why not enjoy the outdoors as you propose? If this sounds tempting, go directly to Will Rogers Memorial Park. Once there, choose a shady spot, pull out a specially prepared picnic made for two and then choose the best moment to ask for your loved one's hand in marriage - all without having any audience around to interfere except for perhaps a few pretty birds singing this quintessentially romantic moment's praises.
