Reilly & Thu's Proposal Story in Dallas
How did you meet?
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.

Dale & Jaicie's Proposal Story in Banff
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
Me and Jaicie are high school sweethearts and have found a way to keep our love strong through long distance during college, new jobs and relocations and many other trials and tribulations. Just being able to persevere through that showed us how much we truly love each other and can withstand anything life brings our way.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
I chose the proposal destination because I know Jaicie wanted something scenic and private. Doing it in Lake Minnewanka gave us just that and the pictures turned out greater than we expected.
What is your proposal story?
The proposal went great! Martina helped create a great proposal plan that instilled the confidence in me to make the moment special. Jaicie was suspicious our whole trip but was still surprised when the moment came and I couldn’t ask for more.
Best tip for proposing in Banff
My best advice would be to bundle up as for our photo shoot it was -7 C and gave me and Jaicie a little bit of a challenge with our photo shoot.

School
What is your love story?
She is so impressive in every way and we have the same vision for our lives together. She makes me better just by being who she is, with me just trying to keep up!
What made you choose this proposal destination?
She loves ruins and history so I thought that the forum location with the view available would be the best. We could get pictures in iconic places and the easily accessible viewpoint made a lot of sense.
What is your proposal story?
It was supposed to be an easy walk and proposal in a spot by ourselves. All the way until the morning of, it was not supposed to rain. The morning comes and it would just not stop raining. Of course the photographer and I were sending frantic messages trying to figure out the new timing and location to deal with the rain. The photographer was able to go to the location and essentially wait for us and for the rain. When the rain cleared up for a minute we decided to go with the original plan and pop the question. Very grateful for everyone’s patience and the pictures turned out beautifully.
Best tip for proposing in Rome
Don’t trust the weather app! I would recommend going early in the morning, while it might be inconvenient to have such a long day for your proposal, it is well worth it to not have crowds of people in your pictures.

Anthony & Anna's Proposal Story in Chicago
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
On our fourth date I lost my keys at a restaurant. Anna never once judged me for making such a silly mistake, and she managed to make the whole experience be remembered in a positive light. Anna had to endure a day with a highly stressed Anthony, a towed car, and an evening of cancelled plans, all while never once complaining. If she could put up with me then, she could endure me in any state.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Anna lives in the city and has great affection for the beautiful Chicago skyline.
What is your proposal story?
The night before the proposal, Anna told me she had accidentally missed her nail appointment. Knowing what I had planned, I gently insisted she try to squeeze in a last-minute appointment before our supposed “family Christmas photos” at 11 a.m. the next morning. Thankfully, she made it work. With just thirty minutes to spare, we arrived at the bridge overlooking the South Pond in Lincoln Park, where Amanda captured the most beautiful photos. Afterward, a limo took us to her parents’ house, where I had arranged a champagne celebration with our immediate families and closest friends. We ended the night with a dinner reservation at our favorite steakhouse—perfectly wrapping up the best day of our lives.
Best tip for proposing in Chicago
Winter proposals can absolutely be beautiful! A lot riskier in regards to weather, but proposing midday was absolutely perfect in my experience.

It was a dream of mine forever
What is your proposal story?
It was perfect! The day of, we woke up relaxed at an onsen hotel. Once I saw that the weather forecast was good, my stress melted away knowing that everything was perfect! We showed up to the park and saw that it was secluded with Fuji beautifully present without a cloud in the sky. Once I saw that Ayako was in place, I knew it was time. She was so happy when she said yes and got the ring. Ayako captured the moment beautifully!
Best tip for proposing in Tokyo
Make sure you find someone who knows the area well so that you have flexibility finding the perfect location. Ayako was perfect for this!

Kris & Scott's Proposal Story in Kyoto

Dating App
What is your love story?
When we started dating, he would bring me homemade sourdough bread baked with cherries inside. I'd have it for breakfast every morning, and whenever it ran out, there'd be a new loaf ready for me. He's kept me well-fed ever since! Between that and the fact that he actually finds enjoyment sitting next to me and watching me play my nerdy video games, I couldn't have found a better partner!
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We're both huge video game and anime otakus (nerds), and I've always wanted to make my proposal in a place far from home and special for us. Japan was a no-brainer. He had visited 2 times before, and this was my first time. It was unforgettable, and I'm so glad I picked this trip for such special day.
What is your proposal story?
Scott isn't a huge fan of surprises, and it was definitely suspicious that I had planned something for us in the outskirts of Kyoto at 8:30 AM (We never do anything at 8:30 AM, haha!). That said, it gave him the chance to also prepare his own proposal for the same time. On the special day, we woke up, hopped on a local bus with the morning commuters, and walked up to the most beautiful small temple with barely anyone there yet. Kyoto is a busy place, so we were very lucky to be able to have our moment surrounded by the nature carefully curated by temple caretakers. We went with some symbolism with our ring choices, as Scott's design comes to a peak, and my design has a little valley. Because of the design, we can put our rings together like a train wheel on a track. They go together just like us! After the proposal, we made our way to a coffee shop our photographer suggested (Kurasu, it was amazing!), had an amazing coffee, then ate buckwheat crepes across the street. Once we were fed and energized, we went to the Nintendo store to geek out as a newly engaged couple. After that, we caught the sunset at Kyomizu-dera and got a new stamp in my goshuincho. Hilariously, while I was in the holy place getting my stamp, a stranger from Hong Kong walked up to Scott and started hitting on him! We didn't think much of it and when he asked to join us as we walked around the temple, we said sure. As we were taking photos, another tourist asked Scott to take a photo for them, which happened a lot. When I told our new "friend" that Scott always ends up being asked to take pictures, he said "probably because he's handsome, right?". I thought to myself, yes, he sure is! He ended up walking with us all the way back to Kyoto City, where we had to walk him to the train station and say our goodbyes. Otherwise, I think he would have followed us back to our hotel room! It must have been a bit of a surprise for him after we traded socials that we had actually just sealed the deal with proposals that day. Just another funny little story about our special day that we'll never forget!
Best tip for proposing in Kyoto
Definitely do it early, Kyoto is a very famous city visited by travelers from all over the world. From what we hear, it is peak tourism season every day of the year there. Make sure you're respectful of the locals, especially in places of worship like the shrines and temples. We found that knowing a little bit of Japanese goes a long way when interacting with folks at temples and restaurants.

Nathaniel & Ashley's Proposal Story in Edinburgh
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
We instantly clicked on our first date and things just took off from there. Our connection felt so natural from the very beginning and seemed to grow stronger every day. I feel like it was a bit of the cliché “when you know, you know”. She very quickly became my best friend, biggest supporter, biggest source of motivation, my calm, and my safe space. Time moves so slow when we’re not together but seems to fly by when we’re together. I’ve known for a while now that she’s the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, and that there’s no one else in the world who could ever make me feel as loved or happy as Ashley does.

Edinburgh is her favorite city in the world, so I wanted to give her a new favorite memory in her favorite city.
What is your proposal story?
I suggested that we get up early and walk down the Royal Mile to watch the sunrise before grabbing some coffee and pastries at The Milkman Coffee. As we finished our coffee, I told her I wanted to see the view of the castle from the Vennel Steps since we had a tour scheduled later that morning. We were both admiring the view as we walked up the steps and I suggested we take a picture once we got to the top. As I put my phone in my pocket after our picture, I pulled out the ring, got on one knee, and asked her to marry me!

Well it may seem like nothing but when I asked her out on our 2nd date (our first date wasn't so good) she could have said no and given any old excuse but this girl actually made time for me. She called in to work to hang out with me. And no one has ever put in effort like that for me.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We planned to visit Japan since March of this year so I thought that's the best possible place to propose to her. Nothing is topping Japan
Best tip for proposing in Tokyo
Check the weather and make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to your spot early. Traffic or delayed trains will make you very exhausted before the photos even begin
