For proposals, you can go big by popping the big question on one of Times Square's gigantic billboards. For those already engaged, you can exchange wedding vows right in Duffy Square in front of a new heart-inspired sculpture. For both of those experiences, you'll have to fill out an application and wait for word on whether you've been selected.
As for vow renewals, you can re-commit to your longtime lover in a group ceremony on the Red Steps. The vow renewal experience is free and open to all. In particular, the Times Square Alliance welcomes "lovers and partners whose bonds bridge boundaries, be they religious, political, racial, or regional." The vow renewal ceremony begins at 6pm and will conclude by 6:30pm, giving you plenty of time to get a romantic dinner afterward. Be sure to register in advance here.
