nominator

'one proposing to' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'married in a prominent landmark south of new orleans initially' is the wordplay.
'married' becomes 'm' (abbreviation, e.g. in genealogy).
'a prominent landmark' becomes 'ator' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'south of' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, some letters go under others).
'initially' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'new orleans' is 'no'.
'm'+'in'+'ator'='minator'
'minator' put after 'no' is 'NOMINATOR'.

'get' is the link.
