Proposals can be seriously stressful for both parties involved. Yes, the end goal of happily ever after is totally worth it, but leading up to the \u201cyes\u201d can be a logistical nightmare. Luckily for Mariam, Tigran took all the stress in stride and got the whole family in on the perfect proposal for her, with Flytographer Katie<\/a> hiding nearby to capture the moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE PROPOSAL<\/p>\n

\u201cI was suspicious in the weeks leading up to the proposal \u2013 well, more hopeful than anything. In my culture, we aren\u2019t shy of engagement discussions, so Tigran and I would often talk about \u2018when we\u2019re engaged\u2019 or \u2018when we\u2019re married,\u2019 so nothing really seemed out of the ordinary.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe started going out more often on the weekends \u2013 new adventures, cute places, random dates. Our 3-year anniversary was coming up and he suggested we go to the Huntington Botanical Gardens<\/a>. Since I\u2019d never been, I happily agreed. He told me the cherry blossoms would be in full bloom. I didn\u2019t make the connection then, but evidently he remembered that once upon a time, I had told him my dream proposal would be in Japan under the cherry blossoms, since they\u2019re my absolute favourite.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Mariam<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Mariam\u2019s family was in on the secret and helped Tigran cover his tracks. Mariam spent the night before the proposal helping her mom prepare for extended family coming into town. Spoiler alert: Her family just told her that to throw her off!<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next morning, we got all dolled up and went to the Huntington Botanical Gardens. I didn\u2019t really let myself think about it until we actually went inside and started heading toward the Japanese gardens \u2013 that\u2019s when he wasn\u2019t behaving like his usual self. He suggested we go under the cherry blossoms and my heart started racing.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"

\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got there, he told me he had something to give me and handed me a book \u2013 the same book I had given him when we first started dating. When he handed it to me, I was confused, until he flipped it to the last page where he had written something. I started to read it and immediately knew where it was headed and when I finished reading the last sentence, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"

\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAfterward, our wonderful hidden photographer revealed herself and we had a super fun photo shoot under those gorgeous trees. When it was all over, we toasted with champagne and appetizers before going home to both our families waiting for us.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Mariam<\/p>\n

How did it feel to pull off such a sweet surprise?<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even remember what life was like before we became a couple. After all the stress and nerves, the moment she said \u2018yes\u2019 made every single second of the stress and planning worthwhile.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Tigran<\/p>\n

Ready to plan your own sweet surprise?<\/p>\n
