traditionally, I'd prefer private just because it seems a little more special that way. Something you both share and no one else. Besides that, I would probably blush and get embarassed in public. And I don't feel the whole world needs to know if i'm going to get married because I have nothing to prove. And if they're all strangers, it doesn't concern them. Public in the presence of family or something might be a little different...
But actually, I would rather just get the thing over with and reach an agreement with it. Rather than it be this surprise thing where the guy just randomly proposes, I want to be part of the decision making process... If we should get married, when, where, etc. I don't even want an engagement ring. Don't like symbols.
