In general I would say go for private, I think it's better as an initimate moment between the couple. However, personally I agree with those who have said that that all the hype over proposal is just silly. If you're at the stage in your relationship where you feel you want to be married, there shouldn't have to be some special words and expensive jewelry to confirm it. I'm not trying to insulte those for whom the whole proposal process was very important, everyone person and every couple is different. But I know for myself I picture something very much like what shesus described, you just know between the two of you without the formal ceremony and all.
