Friends/Family
What is your love story?
R: I think once you know, you know. I knew I wanted to propose for awhile, and it was mainly a matter of figuring out the best way to do it. We've grown so much as a couple over the past few years, and I wanted to make sure I tried to make a special moment just that.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
R: Flippen Park is a beautiful park with great scenery, in a historic part of Dallas. We had pictures done at this park before for a previous life event, so it was nice to return. I knew I wanted to propose in a more secluded location, and I felt this park was a great place to return to.
What is your proposal story?
T: Leading up to the proposal, Reilly had told me that we were attending a university alumni event. Little did I know, a beautiful setup was waiting for me in the gazebo. Reilly talked about our love story and past memories, got down on one knee, and asked if our future could be one forever together. He surprised me by arranging for our families and closest friends to celebrate together after.

Iceland has been mine and my partner’s number one travel goal since before we were even a couple, so it only made sense that this was the setting for such an important relationship milestone.
What is your proposal story?
We spent the day exploring several waterfalls and black sand beaches, then our last stop was Skógafoss, where our photographer Luis was waiting for us! I distracted my partner by having her take a photo of the waterfall and when she turned around I was on one knee with the ring in my hand and Luis was ready to capture the moment.

Our photographer gave us clear instructions and great tips, keeping me updated the whole time. My main advice is just to find a great photographer to help you out if you aren’t from Iceland.
Akbar & Maedeh's Proposal Story in Lake Como
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
Maedeh and I both share a similar upbringing. We were both born in different countries (Maedeh from Iran, and myself from Indonesia) but moved to the United States at the age of 10. Because of this, when we started dating and getting to know each other, we shared the same "immigrant" story. It's truly special to be able to share a life shaping experience like this with your significant other.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Lake Como has always been her childhood dream spot. I wanted her to feel like a princess and live out her childhood dream.
What is your proposal story?
We got to Milan the midnight before the big day. With very little sleep, we were out and traveling to Lake Como at 8am. During this travel, we started to see a downpour of rain. I was worried and certainly stressed. Our photographer, Jean Roberto, thankfully proposed to push our start time 2 hours later to be at 12pm instead of 10am. Looking back, this was such an amazing change of plans as the weather certainly cleared up by then! We proposed at Villa Melzi, which is a breathtaking venue. Maedeh had no idea about Jean Roberto, as I told her that he would be a tour guide and photographer during our tour/visit of Villa Melzi. When we got to the proposal spot, I kneeled down and Maedeh starts crying... happy tears! We enjoyed the rest of the Villa Melzi and continued our day visiting another Villa, Villa del Balbienello in Lenno, and finishing the day taking a sunset private wooden boat cruising around the entirety of Lake Como.
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
Plan this whole day out far our in advance, especially if you are not staying in Lake Como. Logistics wise, it's a lot of planning and learning of train/bus/ferry routes. If you're staying in Milan, there are different ways to get to Lake Como - the most common being by train or bus, then ferry. However, you can also opt to use a private van service, which I recommend so that you're more relaxed day of.

What is your love story?
Lexi saw Melissa at work one day and just knew she was "the one". Over time we became friends and got to know each other. This only solidified that the feeling Lexi was having was true. After our first date we were inseparable. Melissa knew after the first date that this was different, and Lexi was "the one". After a month of dating Melissa knew without a doubt, she would marry Lexi one day.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We both had loved Greece and the history/mythology. We had been talking about traveling there as our first big trip together as a couple. I knew we would be there during our 1.5 year anniversary. What better way to express my love and desire to spend the rest of my life with Lexi than on this gorgeous trip.
What is your proposal story?
On August 20th, 2024 (our 1.5 year anniversary from our first date), we had spent the morning and afternoon visiting some of the towns in Santorini. While visiting Oia, the old village, we stopped in a small store. Lexi saw this beautiful black and gold dress that had been handmade on the island. She tried it on and looked stunning. She had to have it and said it was perfect for our dinner date that night. All Lexi knew was we had dinner reservations that night for our anniversary and we would go to a spot that was recommended to watch sunset before dinner. Lexi wore the dress we had bought that afternoon. We drove to this beautiful area that overlooked Oia to watch sunset. Stathis was there waiting and taking photos of sunset. Lexi was worried we needed to move because we were in his way. I starting read Lexi this letter I wrote her, 8 minutes later I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. I had a lot I wanted to say, and I have never been a woman of few words. Lexi said yes and then Stathis took us for other photos in that area. We capped off the night with a beautiful cliffside view of the island at Lauda Restaurant, where we said yes to all the food and wine. IT WAS A PERFECT DAY!
Best tip for proposing in Santorini
We would change nothing. Stathis is amazing!! I could not recommend him more. Lexi says she wish she could soak up that moment more. My only advice would be to watch the crowds. But truly nothing is more important than you and your partner. Take time to enjoy it together, it doesn't last long. You are only fiancés for a short period of time, so enjoy it.

So I told her this chapter was ending, and we were moving on to our next chapter of being engaged, and we walked down to the beach to a beach club. We found the spot together, and all the anxiousness and excitement found a spot we wanted to get engaged out together. I paid our bartender to take a video and the rest is history!

Karishma & Sloane's Proposal Story in Paris
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
Our first date in February 2022 was supposed to be a casual thing. Sloane was heading to law school in the fall, and I was still in college in Massachusetts. We knew our time was limited, so we made the most of it. Our first date was eight hours long, listening to records and getting to know one another, and I barely made the last train home when it was over. Our second date was three days long after we got caught in a snowstorm. When we parted ways that summer, we told each other we'd keep in touch if we ended up in the same city again... and later that summer, I found myself in their hometown in Memphis while they happened to be visiting their parents. The spark — which had been kept alive through daily texts and regular FaceTimes, even across time zones as Sloane traveled in Europe — was even stronger, and by the time Sloane had started law school that autumn, we had fallen in love and agreed to try long distance. One year of long distance, another year of medium distance, and two summers in between of living together, we both finally ended up in New York City and moved in together in May. Every day with them has just been so easy — even the hard parts. It feels so special to be building a life with my best friend.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We have both always loved Paris, but never visited together. Sloane graduated from law school in May and took the New York Bar Exam in July, so this trip was originally supposed to be their post-bar trip before starting their new job. Once I decided to tag along for a few weeks, it just felt perfect to start the trip off with a proposal and to enjoy the rest of our travel as new fiancés.
What is your proposal story?
We both proposed to each other! Sloane proposed to me the day before — in the Jardin des Plantes, and then with a surprise picnic overlooking the Seine. Although my proposal was after, it began when we arrived at the airport a few days earlier. I had secretly collaborated with their friends to create a series of puzzles, inspired by the MIT Mystery Hunt that Sloane and their friends participate in every year, all leading to a final meeting point in Paris: the Louvre. I proposed in front of the Louvre pyramids, and Olga from Flytographer was there to capture the big moment! Now the twist — we already knew Olga, because Sloane had hired her (directly through her website) for their proposal the day before! She had to go above and beyond to keep her dual photographer duties a secret, even bringing her husband and dog so she could hide behind them to keep the surprise up.
Best tip for proposing in Paris
Proposing in front of the Louvre: my original spot was already crowded and full of people at 9am on a Wednesday. Luckily, Olga was there early and was able to tell us to come around to the other side where there were fewer people (and that's why Photoshop exists!). I'd recommend even earlier, if you can make it, since doors open at 9... but waking up early is hard! Also if you're taking the Metro, make sure you have tickets (you can get them in your Apple Wallet) because we were almost late due to Metro access issues!

Sports
What is your love story?
We we're naturally drawn to each other right from the start. We quickly found out that we were both very competitive and liked to be active and trying new things. One of our first dates we went around Kansas City and played various games in a competition format to see who would plan the following date. We played ski ball, darts, pop-a-shot, and many more to determine the ultimate bar game champion. We also connected over both of us playing rec league kickball, debating endlessly who's team would come out the winner if we we're to ever match up. The competitive fire and witty banter had me head over heels from the get go, it's been a beautiful ride ever since!
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Banff is absolutely stunning, it has always been on our bucket list of destinations to visit. It felt like such an obvious choice for us as a couple, as we like to enjoy special moments together before sharing with friends and family. We both also have a connection with water and find it to be very peaceful, especially in the early morning when the waters are calm. Being able to propose lake side in front of the mountains and water made the moment perfect for us.
What is your proposal story?
The day couldn't have gone better, MC did a wonderful job of not only selecting the perfect site, but giving me instructions as well as a map to help me get to the perfect spot. One funny little part, she gave me a time to arrive, we actually got there about 10 minutes early and arrived at the same time she did. with it being 6am, naturally we're the only ones there, so I'm immediately panicking that Taylor would notice a photographer walking behind us. Luckily she darted off to the bathroom, but now out on the rocks I'm having to stall while MC gets into position, which led to me babbling nonsense and raising flags that something may be up. Fortunately, Taylor had no idea, and the rest is history!
Best tip for proposing in Banff
My best advice is wherever you plan on doing it, get there as early as you possibly can. We're very much a couple who likes to share our special moments with as few people as possible during the actual moment. So the sunrise shoot was perfect for us as there was no one there, but most locations, even early will be busier than you expect.
