I've never been to Pompeii myself, but I'm pretty sure that the curators there will allow you to bring in a guitar with you as long as you don't play it. The custodians at most of the historic places I've been (including Roman and medieval forts in Serbia, palaces in Venice and castles in southern France) consider even loud talking an act of vandalism against the monuments. If I were you, I wouldn't be pushing my luck with singing, there may even be fines for that. I believe that your future Mrs. wouldn't like it very much if you were arrested while asking her to marry you, though it would make a great story for your grandchildren. :D

As you say she isn't into Pink Floyd, maybe it would be more romantic for her if you proposed in a place that wasn't Floyd related?

That's true. I'm sure there are some nice quiet little squares in Rome where you could pop the question.

What surprised me about Pompeii was how much freedom there was to wander about almost anywhere. They may be paying the price for that though. There's been media coverage of neglect of the site recently after some of it collapsed.

I was asking for a romantic place in Rome to propose, the Floyd thing would be a fantasy, but not ideal.

Pompeii is pretty romantic...

Too bad it's not in Rome.

Wait.. what about Vatican, which is basically in Rome? You can propose AND get Pope's blessing right there and then :lol:

Don't marry her dude. :D
As my breakfast might be suggesting: fuck her (whichever way), then go to Pompeii (with or without her - probly the latter) and have a good time.

What does her not liking Pink Floyd have anything to do with her being a worthy partner? Judging a person's character on such criteria strikes me as both foolish and superficial.

Her liking or not of Pink Floyd has nothing to do with it.

Well-done, congratulations :D !!!

- Why's the bried wearing all white?, - he wonders
- Because today's the happiest day of her life, sweetie.
- Why's the guy wearing all black, then?
