Orange County has its fill of amusement parks, museums and upscale shopping malls for couples to enjoy. But when the time comes to get serious about the relationship, you might consider less-crowded places to unveil the ring box. Here are some creative ideas for starting a lifelong journey.
OC Helicopters
Maybe it’s not halfway to the moon, but proposing in the clouds on a custom flight by OC Helicopters is a good way to increase your odds. Select from a variety of flyovers such as Laguna Beach, county beaches, whale watching, or create your own adventure. If you’d rather get down on one knee, pop the question, land for a great dinner, and then fly off into the stars, there’s heli-dining with a stop at a leading O.C. restaurant. Canine companionship also is available: Ask the pilot to bring “Chief Pup in Charge” Max along as a lap dog.
