Thinking outside of the regular routine? Valentine's Day is on the way, and if you want to make an epic marriage proposal, where could you go (within reason) in the great state of Texas to pop the big question?

There's a bigger list, but I'm pulling ones that are closer to Lubbock or seem worth the trip. A memorable engagement and happy life together is almost sure to follow! If intention is half of it, it's sure to show how much you care if you design an epic proposal.

There are some surprises on this list, waterways with gondolas is one. A horse drawn carriage would be another great idea. Somewhere beautiful is key.

There's a little bit of everything here for you -- from mountain views, to mystical treasures, canyons and beaches.
