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.
Jesus & Jancy's Proposal Story in Rome

What made you choose this proposal destination?
Jancy and I love to travel, and this year we chose Italy. She would always mention that she would love to get married in a small city in Italy. There's something about the history, culture, and love that radiates throughout the country.
What is your proposal story?
Oh man, it was a crazy adventure full of emotions! I had everything planned for Jun 1st, and on May 30th I lost my bag with the RING on the train to Rome. I chased after the train but was unable to make it in time. I just remember looking at the distance as the train left for Napoli with my ring, and the emotions started erupting. It was a surprise proposal, so I tried my best to keep calm and not raise any alarms, but deep inside me, I was screaming. I immediately contacted TrenItalia staff and let them know about the situation. It was kinda hard to communicate with them since they barely spoke English, but thankfully I also speak Spanish and they understood me well enough. We filed a report, and they got to work trying to recover the bag, but they couldn't assure me of anything. The day came, and I was ringless and dejected. I let Francesca know my situation, and she worked with me to reschedule, but I still didn't have a ring. I thought about proposing without a ring. I thought about buying a prop ring and letting Jancy know the situation. I thought of a lot of things in the moment. But ultimately, I didn't give up hope and stuck to the plan. That same morning, I rushed back to the train station to check on the status of my bag. By sheer luck, they were able to locate it and told me they would put it on the next train to Rome and have it there for me that same day! I didn't want to get my hopes up until I had the bag in my hands and I could check that the ring was still there. But thankfully, when they finally returned my bag, everything was untouched. I immediately confirmed my appointment with Francesca and proposed the next morning!
Best tip for proposing in Rome
Stay away from the crowds and choose a more relaxed and tranquil place. Early morning works great, with low traffic, and good lighting. Make sure to ask your local photographer for advice on this!
David & Tamara's Proposal Story in Lake Como
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
We met on Hinge in November 2024 and had our first in-person date on Black Friday. It was supposed to be a quick meet-up for drinks and appetizers, but after getting kicked out of the restaurant at closing, we stayed in her car just talking—until 1 a.m. The connection was immediate. I knew right away I wanted to see her again, so I got to work planning our second date. Since that night, we’ve been inseparable. We’ve traveled together to Washington, DC, Huntington Beach, Panama, and most recently, Milan, Italy—where I proposed. Every step of this journey has confirmed what I felt on day one: I can’t imagine spending a minute without her. We’re getting married in May 2026, and I couldn’t be more excited to build a life together.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We chose Lake Como for our proposal because of its undeniable romance and breathtaking scenery. We had dreamed of something intimate, magical, and unforgettable—and Lake Como delivered. The weather was perfect, the views were surreal, and the air felt full of possibility.
What is your proposal story?
On the big day, we made our way to Villa Monastero in Varenna. I had a speech prepared, and as we walked through the gardens and down to the lakefront, I started with, “Well, the reason why I brought you here…” Tamara immediately began tearing up with joy. I barely made it to the end of my words before getting choked up myself. It was emotional, raw, and everything I hoped it would be.
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
Advice for anyone proposing in Lake Como: If you’re hoping to take photos inside a villa or private property, book well in advance. Coordinate directly with the villa and clearly communicate your request. The locals in Varenna were incredibly kind and welcoming, but having your plans in order makes all the difference.

What is your love story?
She shares my Mom’s name that is in Heaven. When we first met, God and my Mom’s light shined upon her, identifying clearly she was the one. It was not up until years later that our opportunity was created for each other, and the moment it was, we took each other’s hands and never looked back.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
It has been on my bucket list my whole life, we were coming to Italy for a friends wedding extending our trip to Positano and absolutely had to propose to the love of my life here.
What is your proposal story?
It was her birthday, staring at De Ferdinando beach club, making our way back to our airbnb to get ready for drinks before dinner. We went up the road for a drink and I “forgot” her “small birthday present” so we had to stop back before dinner. Upon arrival, we were greeted with rose petals leading to our terrace, where lied rose petals in the form of a heart, many candles, LED light ”Love” signs, and a massive bouquet of flowers where I began my speech to ask her to marry me.
Best tip for proposing in Amalfi Coast
Don’t stress! Also, if you are wearing a tux like I did, have an extra hanker chief for sweat, it is hot and humid with the sunshine, walking and climbing steps. Breathe, drink water, and stay positive.

Mason & Caroline's Proposal Story in Cancun
How did you meet?
We met a bar named Grand Central in Washington DC 2018
What is your love story?
Back in 2018, Caroline and I physically bumped into one another by accident at a bar in Washington DC where we were both studying for our undergraduate degrees. A “sorry” quickly transpired into instant chemistry and that night we got acquainted and agreed to meet up soon for a date. That date came and while we both privately held reservations on anything meaningful coming from it, we were surprised to find a never ending stream of topics to discuss and contribute to. Life, media, politics, history, Philosophy. Hours talking with her felt like moments, and I think this is when I first had an inkling that pure luck had brought me together with someone who would change my life forever in the most beautiful and unexpected way. We continued to meet up for dates, hangouts and would text and talk for hours. Soon, we started dating officially and through life changes such as moving back home after college (to separate states) and the covid-19 pandemic, long distance while finishing our post grad degrees, and many more….our love persisted and grew, until it became an irresistible conclusion that this was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Caroline and I love to travel and go on many international trips together. I had been to Mexico before (though never Cancun) and felt the unique blend of beach and history would make for a great location to propose!
What is your proposal story?
I did some research about trying to book a photographer and was overwhelmed by the prospect of having to reach out and vet photographers myself. I came across flytogropher through a Google search and liked the prospect of them facilitating some of the logistics. I looked through the choices and chose Tati for her experience and pricing and she helped me come up with the perfect plan.

Brian & Natalie's Proposal Story in Cinque Terre
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
We met on our College campus. I would see Natalie here and there as I walked to my classes and we even attended the same parties. After many months of casual chit chats and the occasional run ins at parties, I grew the courage to ask her on a formal date. Once we connected in a more personal setting we realized that we had a lot in common and had great “vibes” all around. One night, we were in the same taxi home together and she drunkenly said, “I love you”. I of course, said “I love you back”. I did not realize in this moment that this was forever! Here we are several years later, in Italy, on my knees asking Natalie to continue our relationship for eternity.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Before coming to Cinque Terre, we were in Florence, the “City of Love”. Our typical vacations are usually coastal with beautiful backgrounds filled with natural landscapes, historical structures, and vibrant colors. Vernazza was the perfect destination to capture this beautiful moment that we will be able to share with our families, friends, and future children!
What is your proposal story?
After a week of walking around the city of Florence and finally making it to our AirBnB in Riomaggiore, we were very tired and wanted to sleep in, so that is exactly what we did. We laid in bed cuddling and browsing our phones all morning. Around 12pm, we finally got dressed and walked up and down Riomaggiore, taking in all the beautiful views of the local homes, flowers, lemon trees, terrace gardens, and the natural rock landscapes. We got back to our room and got dressed as we drank wine and ate a tomato pesto focaccia. Right before we left for the train to head to Vernazza, I secretly secured the ring box in my pocket. We arrived at Vernazza, where we walked around taking in the beautiful village slowly. We walked to the Church of St. Margaret of Antioch, where we met our photographer for our “vacation photography shoot”. Our photographer guided us through the pier. I asked Natalie to turn around to take a romantic photo, I then got down on my knees and pulled out the ring. Natalie cried as she accepted my proposal. Cheers from the crowd were heard as we embraced each other.
Best tip for proposing in Cinque Terre
Choose the time well. I recommend early morning or “golden hour”. Depending the time of year it can get hot during the afternoons and you don’t want to look sweaty in your photos.

Bruno & Elena's Proposal Story in Munich
How did you meet?
Night out with friends. We were both at different birthday parties at the same place. I saw her on the other side of the room and made my move.
What is your love story?
It's impossible to say just one thing. I truly believe we complete each other. We are so different personalities but at the same time we have the same sense of humor. I always find myself laughing with her. That was clear since our first date. Now I can spend all day, everyday, with her just listening to her stories, visiting places or just relaxing. What more can I ask for?
What made you choose this proposal destination?
She is such a big Disney fan so everyone thought that one of the Disney parks would be the location. But I wanted a place that felt like we were inside an actual Disney story. The castle was ideal.
What is your proposal story?
Something I always had in mind was the castle near Munich (Neuschwanstein). I had already visited it years before with friends, before meeting my girlfriend, and it just clicked 100% for my proposal plan—it's a real-life Disney destination, like being in a storybook. It was always on my top list of places to do it. Once, during a trip to Disneyland very early in our relationship, She told me she'd like to go to that castle, but since I'd already been, then she preferred to prioritize other places when we had the opportunity to go to Europe together for the first time. By then I had to start looking for other options to propose or just keep waiting… I did have other options in mind, but for me, none of them beat the castle. After our first trip one of her best friends was getting married and we were going to Europe again. Her friend's wedding in Toledo is coming up, and we're planning to arrive a week early. We have a few days to do some sightseeing on our own, and that's where the opportunity to go to the castle arises. And the truth is, there was nothing left to think about; the decision had been made, the perfect moment presented itself, and all that was left was to plan everything. True to my style, I was sure I could have everything ready before the trip, even though I let several months go by without finalizing any details. Probably like many men, I didn't know much about rings and all the variety, details, and all that. I'm not one for accessories. So I started reading a little online; obviously, there was so much information, and at times, I still felt lost. I decided to consult with married/engaged friends who could clear my mind, which I did find useful, and I'm very grateful for it. Finally, with a more concrete idea in mind, I went with my instinct, and got the ring that matched everything: Elena, the place, and the story. The final touch was to have everything ready to capture the moment. Fortunately, that was something I was able to fix quickly. I found a photography network that listed the cities they were going to visit and contacted a photographer who was very well-reviewed, and after discussing it a couple of times, she finally accepted the job. She gave me a couple of recommendations about the location and the people, and we decided to use her as a tourist/guide who would join our tour. Finally, on the big day, everything went well, although we both had issues with our outfits for the visit to the castle. The weather was good, we arrived early, and the place was almost empty. From the drive, you felt like you were in a fairy tale; the place really is incredible. We began to climb the mountain to reach the castle and beyond. I was worried that my girlfriend wouldn't want to do the second half of the hike, where it was all dirt and rocks, and she might ask me to turn back. All this while I was carrying the box with the ring between my belt and jacket, barely holding it, hiding it as best I could because I hadn't brought a backpack with me. We arrived at the spot, the plan was executed and she said YES!
Best tip for proposing in Munich
1) Clothing stores are closed during Sundays im case you need to purchase anything. Have your outfit ready. 2) Arriving anywhere early is best if you would like to have the place for yourself but transportation might not br available. Check about this point.

What made you choose this proposal destination?
We were travelling to Italy for a family wedding and it just seemed like the right time to do it. Bellagio is one of the most beautiful places on earth and it was meant to be.
What is your proposal story?
We got a ferry from Como to Bellagio and had a beautiful lunch by the lake. I had told Ella that we were getting "Family Photos" so that we would dress up for the occasion. She was a little suspicious that something was going to happen however after her searching for a ring and not being able to find it, that thought left. We then went to Villa Melzi and met the photographer who led us to a breathtaking chapel. Once the proposal was over we walked around the gardens and had photos throughout which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We then had dinner in Bellagio and had a 1.5 hour private boat tour back to Como at sunset which was magical itself.
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
Everywhere along the lake is stunning, I would say do some research into different towns and you will find the one that is right for you. We used Frankys on the Lake for our boat tour home and Joey was absolutely amazing.

What is your love story?
From the beginning, I was drawn to how sweet and thoughtful he is—he has the most genuine heart. Over time, I realized he’s also such a strong and steady leader in our relationship. He supports me, challenges me, and always shows up with love and intention. It didn’t take long for me to know he was the one—I just felt safe, seen, and completely myself with him.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
The very first night we met—over two years ago and before we started dating—we were talking with friends about dream destination vacations, and we both said Italy, specifically Lake Como. Fast forward to now, we planned a big trip through Italy, starting in Rome and making our way north with stops in Florence, Cinque Terre, and finally Lake Como. We ended our trip there, and to my complete surprise, he proposed! It was so special because Lake Como was the place we both talked about visiting on the night we met—long before we knew what our future would hold.
What is your proposal story?
It was truly the most magical day. We had just arrived in Bellagio the night before and this was the final stop on our Italy trip. We planned a photo shoot as a late birthday/anniversary gift and to capture the beauty of the area (or so I thought!). I had no idea that he had secretly reached out to our photographer ahead of time to plan a proposal. During the shoot, as we were taking photos by the lake with the mountains in the background, he suddenly got down on one knee. I was completely shocked—it was such a beautiful surprise! I immediately said yes, and our photographer captured the entire moment perfectly. It felt like a dream, especially knowing it happened in the place we both said we wanted to visit the very first night we met.
Best tip for proposing in Lake Como
If you’re thinking about proposing in Lake Como, I’d say go for it! The scenery is absolutely stunning and creates the perfect romantic backdrop. My biggest advice is to plan ahead—work with a local photographer who understands the area and can help you capture the moment naturally. Also, keep the surprise element if you can; it makes the experience unforgettable. And most importantly, just focus on the love and the moment itself—Lake Como will take care of the rest!
