(East Texas) Unfortunately, most of us can’t be like Travis Kelce and spend $40,000 on creating the perfect romantic scene so that we can ask the big question, 'Will you marry me?' It was reported that Travis spent 40-grand on a 20-foot domed arbor covered in roses, lilies, and candles so that he could propose and present his fiancée, Taylor Swift, with a fairytale custom-cut and designed engagement ring.

Of course, she said yes under this very romantic setting.

With Valentine's Day approaching, hundreds of couples around East Texas will hear that question too. Hopefully, with the same response and hearing the phrase 'I will!', just like Kelce heard.

While you may not have Travis Kelce's deep pockets, with some thought and a little preparation, you can find the perfect location here in East Texas where you can profess your love for your partner and ask the question, "Will you marry me?"
