There's no place like Gardens by the Bay's Christmas Wonderland to revel in the wonder of of the holiday season.

Plus, you can expect an exciting line-up of attractions including giant snow globes, its first-ever Christmas Parade with colourful floats, and 40 luminarie light sculptures. 

Consider popping the question when the 'snow' starts falling during Blizzard Time.

Just be sure she'll be okay with getting proposed to in public.

Or get her to somewhere a little less crowded before pledging your undying love (consider doing a recce before the big day). 

When: 29 Nov - 26 Dec 2019. Ticket to Christmas Wonderland are priced from $6 to $10.

PROPOSE AT: NOX DINE IN THE DARK

Wait, what? Yes, we're talking proposing in the dark and this is one that will definitely make for an unforgettable experience.

Shrouded in complete darkness and with your vision obscured, all your other senses will be heightened, and so will your partner's.

Wait for an opportune moment to make your 'will you marry me' speech, then slip the box into her hand or even slide the ring on her finger.

Just try not to lose the ring.

Menu-wise, it'll be a complete mystery.

All it says on the website, "Be pleasantly surprised by an array of exquisite and in-season ingredients fit for the holidays, tantalize your taste buds and other senses with our 12 dish menu packed with flavour!"

Its festive menu starts from Dec 1 at $88++ per person. The Christmas Festive Mystery Menu (for 24th and 25th December) with 12 unique festive dishes is priced at $128++ per person.

PROPOSE ON BOARD: THE ROYAL ALBATROSS

If proposing on the high seas is on your game plan, then check out the Christmas Party Cruise on board The Royal Albatross, a majestic tallship (sailing ship with high masts) with four masts and 22 sails. 

Your two-and-a-half-hour journey that starts from Resorts World Sentosa includes a Christmas buffet, a welcome drink, live entertainment and other Christmas goodies.

The vessel will also be decked in festive lights and decorations. 

You can even add on the option of climbing up to the mast for an extra fee. 

Prices start from $195 for adults. Visit its website for more information.

PROPOSE AT: HOME

Do like Prince Henry (who proposed to Meghan Markle while the pair were roasting chicken) and plan your proposal at home. 

We can think of plenty of ideas for getting on bent knee in the cosy comfort of your personal space; hide the ring in a bauble on the Christmas tree or inside a cracker, the box inside a box... inside a box, or you know, first thing on Christmas morning while you're both cuddly in bed.

You can even set up the place way before hand (under the guise of decorating for the Yuletide) then add the finishing touches for the big day, and whip up (or Foodpanda, if you don't trust your own culinary skills) a feast.

Don't forget to hang up the mistletoe!
