Hey fellow Lemmylings(?). Last week I did Run Melbourne and managed to cut open my foot whilst running (not sure how), limiting my ability to walk. Thing is, I was going to propose to my partner on Saturday and was going to do it during a hike to one of our favourite places.

Given I can't walk, that's not all that doable anymore. Annoyingly I've booked various other things around the engagement.

Any ideas for proposals that wouldn't require significant walking? We don't have our own transport, but are willing to Uber if need be. Thanks everyone!

EDIT: We're in the Inner North on the Mernda/Hurstbridge train lines.

Congrats mate! You might wanna narrow it down for us. North, West, East, South East, South West etc.

That's an excellent point, thanks mate! Edited the above, but we're in the inner north, Mernda/Hurstbridge train lines.

A nice picnic at Edwardes Lake.

That's actually perfect, mate! We've never been, but it's definitely the right vibes for what I initially planned to do! Thank you so much for your help!

I take it you want a romantic spot to pop the question?

First meet location? First kiss location? Back of a volkswagon?
