Make sure that you seek the preferences of your would be bride before you fix the location. This would make her feel loved and keep her happy as well. Let her have her options. But if you know some place that she really wanted to visit in the past then just give her a good surprise. She will thank you with loads of kisses and lots more!

But, you are entering a new life and it helps if you plan the purchase together so that you can discuss as to what your needs are and decide on your immediate necessities.
