Story: I had been dating my (then boyfriend) for about 8 months before moving abroad to Munich, Germany, for a bilingual kindergarten teaching position. This began our long distance relationship. We talked daily & continued to build & strengthen our communication skills. At Christmas time my boyfriend came over to visit & we explored Germany, celebrated our one year together, adventured through Morocco, & rang in the new year at a Christmas market in Berlin. All the while, I kept my fingers crossed for a proposal. The trip ended with me being disappointed, & no proposal, but we continued to talk about our plans for a fall wedding & I started to think about the prospect of an engagement in the spring when I returned home.Meanwhile, back in the states... Caleb (my boyfriend) decided to make the proposal a reality & started looking at flights again, talked to my dad, purchased a ring, & planned a crazy surprise with one of my colleagues in Munich...Come the end of February, one of my colleagues & really good friends approached me with the idea of going out for a fancy "end of our contract" dinners together. Both of us were finishing our jobs at the kindergarten at the end of February, & she suggested they should celebrate! I liked the idea, & the we started planning what dresses we would wear. The evening before, & morning of the surprise proposal/"end of contract dinner", Caleb told me we wouldn't be able to have our normal time to chat over the phone. He was going snowboarding with a friend, would be out of cell service, & they would be coming off the mountain too late for the times to match up. **This was when he was on the plane & landing in Munich.**I went about my day like normal, & spoke excitedly with my colleague about our dinner plans, not knowing that Caleb was in Munich at that moment, sitting outside a restaurant, with his suitcase & a bouquet of roses, waiting to be able to check into his hotel & get ready for the evening.An hour before I arrived at the restaurant, Caleb got there & got the table all set up with the servers, & then moved to a different part of the restaurant to wait.I had been forewarned by my colleague that she might be running late & to not wait for her outside. Upon arriving, I asked the waiter for the table reserved for two for my colleague and I. I was brought to a table with roses & a note that said "open when you want to know how much I love you...". I immediately got the waiter's attention & tried to communicate in German that, "No, there must be some mistake. This couldn't be my table, because I was meeting a colleague." The waiter reassured me that it was my table & I sat down, but knew there was no way I would open that letter until my colleague arrived and she explained what was going on. The waiter continued to keep an eye on me & report back to Caleb that I hadn't opened the letter yet, & that he should wait a little longer. After about ten minutes, the waiter came over to me & told me, "You should open the letter because it is for you, & you should open it now."  Still confused, I opened up & began to read the letter (from Caleb). When I got to the end I read the words, "Will You Marry Me?". Looking up in complete shock, I saw Caleb walk in, get down on one knee, & ask me to marry him! **Spoiler alert, I said, "Yes!"**The rest of the evening was spent with Caleb sharing his story of getting to Munich, & me interrupting every two minutes, still shocked, to ask "What are you doing here?!"And just like that... We're Engaged!

Story: Hi WCWV, My name is Emma, and I am a new fiancé to my best friend of 8 years. I met my fiancé, Brendan Payne when I was a freshman at college in a small college town in the Redwoods. We met at a mutual friend's birthday party, and he swept me off my feet the moment we saw each other. He was a gentleman and walked me home to make sure I was safe and has made it his life goal since. After undergraduate school, I got accepted to graduate school in Miami (3,000 miles away). To say the least it was hard for both of us, especially unfair to him. Despite it, he was extremely supportive and waited an entire year while I was pursuing my dreams. We called each other every night, and in the end, it made us stronger than before. I had one more year to finish up my Master's in Hawaii. He was so excited that he uprooted himself from home and moved with me to the Big Island. 6 months later and it's my birthday. He surprises me with a horseback ride in the beautiful valley, green rolling hills, thousand-foot waterfalls, and beautiful taro farms. It was something out of a dream. We stop to take a picture in the valley. He gets off his horse and comes around to my side. He taps me on the leg and says "I know I said this was for your birthday, but I actually wanted to know..." he gets down on one knee and I lose my breath.. "will you make me the happiest man in the world?" I get off my horse nod my head yes in tears and he puts his grandmothers ring on my finger. We embrace and everyone around us is clapping in joy. We move back to California soon to make plans for the wedding. But having this man by my side through my best and worst times is all I want.

Story: My fiancé and I are high school sweethearts that met on a blind date 13 years ago. My fiancé proposed when we were in Iceland for his 30th birthday. He planned to do it in front of a waterfall. He knew which waterfall was the one when we were at the one and suddenly a rainbow appeared. He got down on one knee in front of all the other tourist and asked me to marry him. I said yes and he put the gorgeous ring on my finger and now we’re getting married after dating for 13 years! FYI he planned it perfectly because in about ten minutes later the rainbow was gone!
