Story: Courtney and I started dating in November 2015 after we both swiped right on Bumble. The week leading up to his proposal, I had recieved my final grades from my summer semester and the last course of my first year of graduate school. He tells me that he his is super proud of me and that we will celebrate this upcoming weekend. That saturday, September 1, 2018, I met up with a girlfriend to get mani/pedis (not knowing she was in on the surprise). Once I got home from the nail salon, Courtney wanted to walk to brunch. After we finished brunch, he wanted to walk the neighborhood. We walk to this green space with a few Park benches. There was a card with my name on it sitting on one of the benches. I looked confused but read the card anyway. From there, Courtney asked me to stand and he got on one knee and asked me to be his wife. Still in shock, I say “yes!”

Story: It was a warm uneventful evening, the last visit before Cole left for Basic Training...I had a few heavy bags of donations I needed help bringing to my Jeep and I was showing Cole so he could know where they were and how many there were so he could be prepared. I had my back turned pointing to things and when I was done I stated that I was super thirsty and wanted water and if he did as well. As I turned around Cole grabbed my shoulders and said to wait. Oblivious of what was going on I just stood there and licked my dry thirsty lips and listened. Cole then proceeded to tell me how much he loved me and how lucky he was to have me, which he does often but I never get tired of it, it always makes me smile and my heart warm. Suddenly he dropped down on one knee and with my eyes wide I gasped, "WHAT! REALLY! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!?" He giggled and pulled out a ring and with one of his famously handsome smiles, asked me to be his wife for life. Now...by now I completely forgot I was thirsty, busted out crying, and grabbed Cole into a big hug and managed to squeak out the word: YES!

Story: It all began at a friend's engagement party. Although we went to high school together, we never dated. When we reunited at a friend's engagement party, we hit it off. I was close with the soon-to-be bride and he was close with the soon-to-be groom. All of our friends didn't understand how we weren't together sooner because we "just made sense together". That night there was lots of flirting and conversation about going out together another time. First Friday in Southern Pines provided that next opportunity. We listened to good music, talked, and had a few that night. I, of course, had one too many and he had to drive me home (which worked out). That was the night of our first kiss and set the scene for many more dates to come. He was a fireman and I was a teacher. Since we began dating, we have been able to attend or be a part of all of our close friend's weddings. We always have heard..."you two are next". Well, I believe it is time to retire my "bridesmaid" title and become "the bride". After work, he took me out to dinner then drove up to the Roanoke Star in Roanoke, Virginia. The sun was almost done setting and the sky was turning into night. We walked around and talked for a bit then it happened. Matt sat down on a bench for a moment and began to propose and I said "Are you sure?" with my mouth gaping open. Of course I said yes, as we were overlooking Roanoke from atop the mountain. We have since been excited about getting married. We are ready to continue our lives together as husband and wife.

Story: My fiance and I have been together for almost three years now, and we have an adorable son who will be two in January. He proposed to me while we were on a trip with friends in Yosemite National Park. He waited until we were standing directly under Bridal Veil Falls and he got down on one knee and popped the question. I'm not usually the type to cry but my eyes filled with tears, I was just so full of emotions. Of course I said yes! Our friends cheered and clapped, it was just so perfect down to everything last detail.

Story: Jordie and I have been dating since 2009 while living in DIFFERENT COUNTRIES (USA & tropical Belize)! You can imagine how much miles we have accumulated so far. We have definitely been through a lot over the years, but flash forward to March 31, 2018 as we head out to dinner at Ka’ana Resort in Belize for the reservation I made just a few days earlier. We decided to sit inside since there was not one in there. The table only had 2 coasters and a single candle, nothing special at all. The waitress brought the dinner menu and set the table with silverware and lit the candle. She immediately apologized for not having a wine list as they allow their guests to go into the cellar to pick the bottle themselves, so she offered a cocktail menu instead. I always have wine, but I decided to order a margarita instead. Jordie ordered the same. While waiting for our drinks, Jordie decides to go to the car because he forgot his phone. He returned, took some pictures of me and told me that we should check out the cellar, just to see what it looks like. I said OK and asked the waitress if we can still go. She said sure and asked if we would like to go on our own. I looked at her puzzled and said "umm, we don't know where it is". She apologized and escorted us down the stairs and into the cellar. She left and told us that she will return once we have selected a bottle. The cellar was lit with candles everywhere and petals sprinkled on the floor. For some reason, I thought nothing of it since the restaurant setting was a bit romantic, as well. I browsed through the shelves and I picked a bottle of Malbec by Ménage à Trois. Jordie took it out of my hands and placed it on a small table next to us. He nervously held both my hands and that’s when I knew he was about to propose. After expressing how much he loves me and how he never wants to be without me, he leaned over to the small table, pulled the drawer open and retrieved a small black box. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said “Of course, baby!” followed by lots of hugs and kisses. We went back to the restaurant and was seated at a private table outside that had tropical flowers and was fully set up, heart linen napkins included. I asked the waitress if they really allow guest to go into the cellar? She said no and assured me that they have a wine list. Five minutes later, I realized what just happened and I cried. I was so happy that I will finally be able to start a life with the man that I have always loved!

Story: We didn’t have a “love at first sight” experience. In fact, I thought he was going to be another one of those “college baseball jocks” as the professor told me I had to sit in the last seat closest to the front. Of course it was right next to him. As I introduced myself after sitting by him, he looked up from his phone and smiled at me the way any woman wants to be smiled at. I wasn’t convinced. The psychology professor then advised us to write out our “life-story” and share it with the person next to us. I had no option, but telling him about my life, even though I didn’t want to. Of course, his story changed my impression of him and I realized this man that I sat next to had the biggest heart of gold. My jaw dropped as I wanted him to tell me more; I couldn’t believe the words uttering from his lips when he talked about how much he loved his mom and how he was in critical condition at the age of two. I was blown away by this man that I thought would just be “another college baseball jock.” That day, he left Class after our class together and got back to his townhouse full of baseball players and said to every single one of them, “Guys. I met the woman of my dreams today.” Two years of long-distance later, he got on one knee after a long flight from Boston at a luxurious “family” dinner and there were candles and a water fountain lighting the path from me to him. Wow. I can’t believe that he knew. From day one, he knew, and I’m so happy that I’m the woman of his dreams.

Story: I was so tired of meeting flakes and jerks online, having 2 dates a day sometimes to try and find Mr. "Right". I was about to delete my online profile until he sent me a message asking what my favorite dinosaur was and favorite color. (I was into the random questions thing). Later to find out his military roommate made him a profile on this site when they were drinking...im glad he came back the next day sober to look around some more to find me. Sure enough he moved our first date night up a couple days to beat someone else from dating me. He even said when waiting for me to come out to meet him at his car, an older non attractive lady walked out and he was sure he was catfished...until she passed him and I came out. We we're attached at the hip there after and I swore I've been in a dream since. We are made for each other. He waited until our 5 year anniversary photos at our first date location to pop the question by the beach. ♥️ I cried....and said yes.

Story: My fiance and I spent the whole day in NYC. We walked up and down Time Square trying to kill some time before we had to go to the Yankee Stadium. We had an amazing time, but it was time for me to go home. While we spent our day in New York, his sister, brother-in law, and my little brothers helped put together a night I will never forget. When I got home I walked into a trail of rose petals leading me to the back of my house. I was so confused as to what was going on even though I could clearly hear "Bruno Mars- Marry You" in the background. I followed the trail and outside the back door was a huge arch with lights and a message reading, "Will You Marry Me?" I cried so much wondering how could he pull all of this off if I was in New York with him for the whole day. When I got closer to him down on one knee, I saw a picture of my father and I and cried even more. With my father passing and know how close we were, he made sure to include my dad in such a day that is very important to me. I was surrounded by my loved ones and couldn't have asked for a better proposal.

Story: On the evening of August 29th, what started out as a fun professional photo shoot on our first day in Havana turned into a surprise engagement photo session. We started out at El Capitolio then walked through Old Havana, stopping at unique and colorful places to take pics. Then we walked down to El Malecon, the seawall. Neither Jess nor the photographer had any idea a proposal was about to happen! Clearly she said yes and jumped into my arms before I could even get the ring on her finger. Later we took a ride in a vintage car then went to a rooftop bar to bask in the glow of the Cuban sunset and our deep love for each other.

Story: My fiancé Scott and I have known each other since 2009, where we met at Oregon State University. We reconnected back in OR in 2016. On September 1st, 2018, Scott and I took a trip to Wallowa Lake, OR where we took the tram up to the top of Mt Howard Summit, over 8,000 feet in elevation. We went to the overlook where you are able to see parts of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and even Montana. Looking out over this amazing view, Scott told me he always hopes we can find adventures together and that he would feel even more on top of the world if I would marry him, in which I turned to face him and he was down on one knee with the most amazing ring shining up at me! Of course I said YES!!!

Story: Tyler and I have done our year long relationship from distance. We make an effort to see each other 3 times a month, so it’s been easier than your typical long distance relationship, but still really hard saying goodbye! When we are foster we try to do a nicer date night at least once. One where we go somewhere new for dinner and do something after - so we did a staycation for me- went downtown Chicago, got a hotel, dressed up, and headed to a new dinner spot! Tyler didn’t seem different at all! His normal goofy self! We planned to eat and hit up some rooftop bars because it was the perfect night! Needless to say, Tyler was adiment to go to Trump tower’s terrace- so up we went. We were there all of ten minutes when Tyler needed to go to the bathroom... so as I waited for him, I got our drinks, and was admiring the view. By the time he got back he didn’t waste any time!! He got down on one knee... and had someone taking pictures!!!
