Just over the road from Hilton Hotel there's Cliffords Tower which is on top of a hill, so doesn't get swamped with passers by. Lovely outdoor location and very close to bars and restaurants when you want to celebrate. Best of luck mate!

And I believe they finally took the scaffold down last week. Another good suggestion.

PS, no Lily the Pink jokes please.

The Minster and Betty's Tea Rooms are good shouts, but how about one of the sightseeing boats on the Ouse as something different? Then afterwards to one of the restaurants or pubs for a drink and a meal to celebrate.
And congratulations in advance.

I was stationed in York for 18 months, best posting I ever had. I loved it. Because of all the soldiers stationed there lasses would come from miles around. A lechers paradise. Apart from that, the city itself was full of interest and the people were friendly. Maybe it’s because I was young but there always seemed to be a happy atmosphere. There used to be a little pub at the end of the bridge that always flooded when the river burst it’s banks; can’t remember it’s name but I only went in once and was chatted-up by a very insistent gay bloke who wouldn’t take a hint, like “piss off”. Even when I offered to empty his pint over his head he persisted, so I left. I suppose York has changed a lot, like most places, but it will still be a wonderful place to propose - and celebrate!

Were you based at the barracks in strensall? Lived just by them when I moved down there.

Kings Arms? Sat in there one New Year’s Eve for a bit when there was about 8 inches of water flowing through, landlord had made a walkway out of milk crates and planks to keep your feet dry.

Some very good shouts on here for you Tees.
I don't know York well enough to improve on those suggested but would add my own best wishes to you and your good lady.
Hope it goes well mate.
