It wasn’t easy to find but we pulled it off and we think it was the perfect idea. Check out the the Portland rooftop proposal here. Enjoy the full video of this amazing Portland proposal here:
3. Portland’s Rose Garden
Because the weather of Portland is ideal for roses, that makes this location the perfect place for the flower lover. It also has a lot of history because it is the oldest public gardens in the US. With about 10,000 roses here you can be sure to have a beautiful backdrop for you proposal.
4. Mt. Tabor Park
