Proposal Ideas: Orlando Resort Introduces Christmas Marriage Proposal Package Guaranteed to Cause Cold Feet

Kissimmee, Fla. (PRWEB) November 8, 2007 -- Cold feet, indeed! Leave your marriage proposal (http://www.christmasinorlando.com/index.php?categoryid=35&p2000_articleid=4) to the staff at Orlando's Gaylord Palms Resort and they'll practically guarantee "cold feet," when you "pop the question" inside the resort's amazing holiday ICE! (http://gaylordpalms.com/ice) attraction, hand carved from two million pounds of ice.

The marriage proposal, which will be captured by a staff photographer, will take place inside the attraction's heart-warming "winter wonderland" scene, a romantic tribute to a winter morning in the forest. The ring presentation will be held inside the forest's picturesque 14-foot-tall gazebo, hand-carved from nearly 61,000 pounds of crystal-clear ice. Perched atop the gazebo, two doves, artfully carved from white ice, will help to mark the occasion.

After the memorable proposal, the newly engaged couple can "take the plunge" down one of the attraction's ice slides, also constructed from blocks of ice.

The ICE! Proposal Package, which retails for $200, includes priority entrance for two to ICE!, a souvenir photograph, and a 2007 ICE! Christmas ornament.

The ICE! Deluxe Proposal Package, retailing for $475, also includes souvenir martini glasses and a special ICE! carving placed inside the attraction with the message "Will you marry me?"

Package add-ons include carvings with a custom message, or private "exclusive" proposals.
