Stan & Manvi's Proposal Story in Vienna
How did you meet?
School
What made you choose this proposal destination?
After graduating college, we traveled to Europe as our first big trip together. Vienna was the highlight of the trip - we fell in love with the city, the gardens, and the coffee and pastries! And it was where we first said "I love you", so it has had a special place in our hearts ever since. Coming back to Europe, we wanted to visit Vienna again, and I knew it was the perfect place to propose. It gave us the chance to re-live those memories and experience and celebrate in a place we love that's so special to us.
What is your proposal story?
We had amazing memories from Volksgarten in the heart of the city, and wanted something that was beautiful and a little away from the crowds. The day of was fantastic and we explored all of our favorite places and highlights from our first trip before heading to Volksgarten for sunset. It started pouring rain as we got there, but we enjoyed a few drinks under a patio and decided to explore the garden as the rain settled. Florentina, our photographer, was waiting for us and offered to take a picture - that's when I proposed! It was an amazing moment, and the rain only made it more fun and magical. After that we did a full photoshoot in the rain in the garden and in the streets nearby. It definitely didn't go exactly as planned, but it was absolutely perfect!

Couldnt think of a more beautiful place than Hawaii.
What is your proposal story?
I told my now fiancée that we were going on a private excursion where animals were involved. I convinced her we were meeting a man on the beach named Will, who looks like a smaller version of Dwayne Johnson. I decided to take a selfie once on the beach and that was our photographer's cue who was standing by to help with taking a "better photo". He distracted her perfectly while I got on one knee.

Opportunity and help from family and friends.
What is your proposal story?
Well nothing went as planned haha. We were supposed to be in our hotel room early after our tour of the Vatican, but we randomly ran into friends near the Spanish steps when we made a pit stop to do some shopping. 4 hours later we still weren’t back in the hotel so I can come up with a story about how we have reservations of a nice restaurant with a view of the colosseum. Still being with our friends and even though we were having a good time, we needed to go! I had to come up with a man excuse that my stomach hurt and we needed to rush to the hotel so I can use the restroom asap. I was texting our photographer the whole time telling her about the mess, but she was amazing. It didn’t go as planned but I guess that makes it that much more special. She didn’t expect it to happen at all.

Give yourself more than a month to plan it all. I got lucky Roberta was able to help me on such short notice!

Get there early to avoid any crowds and ask your photographer plenty of questions because they'll know the venue better than anyone (especially if it's an international or far location).

Andrew & Nick's Proposal Story in Berlin
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
We met online actually Both if us had just gotten out of a long term relationship. it was great to click with someone who had the same experiences. We instantly hit it off and it was love ever since. I always say “ I can’t believe you’re real” because since meeting it has been a fairytale.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
The city of Berlin is historical and beautiful with amazing backgrounds for photos and beautiful architecture.
What is your proposal story?
Nick had no clue that any of this was happening. I had told him that we were meeting with a tour guide (Irene) and she even played into it at first. Nick was completely fooled even tho Irene was already taking pictures at that point. Then at the last minute I pulled the ring out of my back pocket and he said “what are you doing”. He was completely taken by surprise
Best tip for proposing in Berlin
Everything was great. The proposal location was at the advice of Irene our photographer. She had shown me samples of locations she had previously shot at and was so professional. Everyone should use her!

Nick & Caroline's Proposal Story in Tokyo
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
Our love story is very nonstandard. Caroline and I went to Southern Illinois University at the same time. One strange night we both ended up at our best friends house (who were married to each other) for a party and we specifically remember making prolonged eye contact with each other and separately thinking the other was cute. We then never saw each other again until 5 years later. I would always tell her best friend even before I truly met her that Caroline was beautiful and one day I’d marry her and she would always say that’s impossible since Caroline moved to South Carolina and I was in Texas. I then got a job in North Carolina and never forgot that Caroline was in South Carolina and I knew it was my opportunity to take a shot at finally dating her. Eventually Caroline’s best friend convinced her to meet with me as friends and we had the most amazing time. I then decided, let’s take a road trip to Disney in Orlando from South Carolina. Our first true date was after driving together, after knowing each other truly for a week, for 10 hours and was at Disney World and from there we have been inseparable.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
I chose Tokyo / Shinjuku Garden because it not only is a beautiful/quiet area but it’s also an amazing story for us to say we got engaged in Tokyo.
What is your proposal story?
Our proposal story is very calm and quaint. I am usually known for not being able to keep surprises to myself and that day she was so unassuming of what was about to happen. I tell her to dress nice since it was our first full day in Tokyo and we’d probably take cool pictures together, we go get coffee and we show up to the proposal location 10 minutes early because I could not wait any more. We walk right past our photographer who was so unassuming, get to the bridge on the Tamamo Pond in the Garden and with seemingly no one around I ask her to marry me and she says yes! We both don’t remember anything because we both basically blacked out from the nerves of the moment but it turned out wonderfully and I wouldnt have wanted it any other way.
Best tip for proposing in Tokyo
Advice for proposing in Tokyo would be to do research of where you actually want to propose. I scoured the internet of good locations to do it. Choose what you think will feel right and natural for you and use google maps as a nice tool. I would use google maps to put myself in the location on my proposal and have a 360 view to see how it would look and also use it to see reviews other people have left of it and photos other people have taken at those locations to see how it looks different seasons and different weather. Just do your research and put yourself there, figuratively, when considering it a location

The entire island is absolutely gorgeous! With it being sparsely developed, certain parts of the island do not have cell phone reception which can at times make coordinating a surprise photoshoot difficult. Just do your research ahead of time and have a good plan!

Edward & Kat's Proposal Story in Lake Tahoe
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
Kat and I met Junior year of college at Penn State in 2015 and have been dating for 8 years. 6 of those years were long distance, as we graduated college and she went on to attend Vet school in Los Angeles, followed by internships and residencies around the country. During all this time, I remained in Philadelphia. That brings us to Reno, where she is currently in residency. Multiple trips to see each other all across the country, daily Facetimes, and countless phone calls have solidified the fact that I want to be with this girl for the rest of my life.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
After moving her in to south Reno a little over a year ago and taking a couple trips down along the Lake Tahoe shoreline, I knew this was where I wanted to pop the question! And here we are...mission accomplished!
What is your proposal story?
Josiah did an amazing job guiding me in the right direction. I was able to surprise Kat by getting her older sister and fiance out to meet us at the proposal location after I popped the question. Josiah helped to hide them until that moment. The weather was beautiful and we even got a little sun shower and rainbow towards the end of the shoot that was captured in some of the pictures.
Best tip for proposing in Lake Tahoe
Check the weather! It can change quickly so be prepared with coats, umbrellas, etc. if necessary. If proposing at sunset, find a location along the east coast (Nevada side) of the lake.

We are from the same high school and we had our first talk at our high school cafeteria. We went to our senior prom together as just friends, and we finally started dating in our freshman spring semester at college. We have basically been long-distance for our entire relationship, but I know that Taylor is “the one” because she is the sweetest, most caring person in the world, she always makes my day better, and I love her very much.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We already had the vacation booked before I had the idea, and Ross Fountain looked like a great place to propose.
What is your proposal story?
We woke up very early because we wanted to area around the fountain to ourselves. I placed both of our phones down to take a video, and then I said “Why do you really think that I really got us up this early?” and then I showed her the ring box and proposed.
Best tip for proposing in Edinburgh
I would definitely recommend doing it in from of Ross Fountain early in the morning so that you have it all to yourselves. The view is perfect and the pictures will come out perfect!

I met Nikki through mutual friends while on a double date at a movie theatre. We immediately clicked and the rest is history. We bought a house early last year and I finally found the right moment to propose.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
I’ve always wanted to visit Rome and I thought the Trevi Fountain was one of the more captivating historical monuments in the area.
What is your proposal story?
During the early morning hours of August 8th, 2023, I approached the Trevi fountain with Nikki. As I approached I could hearing the flowing water of the fountain and my nerves started to kick in. Nikki and I rounded the corner and the fountain was now in our sight. While Nikki was indulging in the sights of the fountain, I began to look for Roberta, my photographer. I caught a glimpse of Roberta and recognized her from the selfies we had exchanged via WhatsApp just minutes earlier. I escorted Nikki to the planned spot and asked Roberta to take a selfie of us in-front of fountain. After Roberta snapped a photo will my cellphone she gave me the cue to propose. At this point my heart was beating out of my chest and I dropped to one knee and asked the love of my life to marry me. Thankfully Roberta captures the moment because it’s practically a blur in my head from all the built up nerves. Roberta then went on to walk Nikki and I around Rome to capture additional amazing photos.
