Marriage Proposal

Post by qjamesfloyd »

I am planning on asking my girlfriend Lisa to marry me in October when we visit Rome for a 4 day break, does anyone have any idea's where would be a good place to do it? I have been told about Villa Borghese Gardens already, which I like the look of. She's not into Pink Floyd either so she won't read this :)

The Trevi fountain, it's a cool place, but wanted somewhere a bit less public.
No, she has her own laptop :D

I’ve been separated from my wife for around 7 years. I went to my solicitor yesterday. I’m getting a divorce. <ii> <ii> <ii>

If you get outside Rome, you might as well try Pompeii :)

Now that is an idea, does anyone know the exact location of the place where Pink Floyd played from the DVD?

I might suggest a stop at the Piazza San Marco in Venice on your way down.

It was in the ampitheatre at the far end of the site. Went there in 2004. Wonderful experience.

I suppose it could have been we both lived close to each other. She would call round and I guess I thought we might try and make a go of it. Now I live around 40 miles away. I need to make a clean break. We still talk over the phone. In fact I phoned her explained the situation she was ok about it.

Ok, thanks, that's not to bad. Do you think I would be pushing it, if I took along my guitar, and broke out with a rendition of Echoe's too :D
