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.

Brock & Madison's Proposal Story in Chicago
How did you meet?
Walked into a restaurant she worked at while I was a customer.
What is your love story?
After slowly building up conversation going back to the restaurant she worked at every Wednesday night, I asked her on a date after about 6 weeks. We hit it off! We were going to separate colleges a few hours away, but we would visit one another and talk every day. About 5 months in, I said "I love you" and she said it back; I knew she was the one right then, now we just had to get the ball rolling. She finished up school, we both got new jobs, we went on vacations, etc...we just had to continue to save up money to where we could move out of our parents' houses and live together. So that's what we did, 5 years of being together and we bought a house and got a dog together. I started back up with school and a new career path which would delay a proposal a little bit....skip to 2.5 years later and I earned my degree. I had been looking at rings for a few months knowing graduation was close. I bought the ring the day after graduating, just had to wait for it to come in. About a month and a half later, the ring showed up; I ran the idea by both sets of parents with overwhelming approval. We are engaged!!! Popped the question at the Chicago Botanic Gardens.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
She loves flowers and other plants & I work in plant healthcare; we had talked about making it out to the Chicago Botanic Gardens at some point this summer. Why not have a beautiful setting for a proposal?!
What is your proposal story?
I wanted the proposal to be in 3 possible areas of the gardens (rose, waterfall, or Japanese); all of the areas are to the left as you walk in. Well, Madison wanted to go along the right because we had the whole day to explore the gardens. I kept insisting that I really wanted to head over and see the areas. Finally making our way there, we passed though the rose garden. As we made our way to the waterfall garden, I subtly made contact with the photographer (he was being a "fly on the wall" and not looking like he was there for a proposal. Madison made a foreshadowing comment that one spot was really pretty and that proposals are probably common there. Well there were a bunch of people there, so we moved on. We went up around the falls, when we came back down the area was clear. Madison wanted to take some picture now that the area was clear. We took some selfies, pictures of the plants and falls, then she wanted a picture with the beautiful backdrop. She handed me her phone and other items for a nice picture. I signaled to the photographer, took some photos, then looked like I was going to take out my phone. I took out a ring box instead. Surprise and joy on her face, full name said, question asked..........YES (many tears of joy*, good thing I had a handkerchief).
Best tip for proposing in Chicago
Have a handkerchief or two in your back pocket; it definetly came in handy for wiping away tears of joys and some sweat from the humidity. Have a specific plan in mind and communicate with the photographer - that helped everything go relatively smoothly.

Mateusz & Natalia's Proposal Story in Sorrento
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
I knew Natalia was the one once the first date ended. Everything about that date went well. Her beauty and easy going personality instantly drew me to her and made me stay. No matter what we talked about, it was smooth and easy to talk with her and I knew from that moment that I couldn’t let this opportunity slip.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Italy is known as a romantic hub, plus Sorrento has amazing views. Once we booked this trip early 2025, I knew this was perfect spot to make the proposal happen. Only question left unanswered was where.
What is your proposal story?
I made it out that going to the end of the dock was a “birthday surprise” as she had a recent birthday. Kept that lie up for as long as possible until I ended up finally proposing.
Best tip for proposing in Sorrento
Make sure your partner takes off their sunglasses beforehand, and if it’s hot weather, make sure they bring extra makeup or a fan or something like that.

Mekai & Gabrielle's Proposal Story in Bari
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
Gabi and I met in Biochemistry class and have been thick as thieves ever since. We have been in a relationship for 7 years and have traveled the world together. I knew Gabi was the one from the moment I met her. She is sweet, Loving, and kind and I knew she would one day be my wife.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We were traveling on a family trip to Italy and I had a desire to propose to her while we were here but wanted a picturesque location. When doing research the Puglia region popped up and we picked Monopoli as our home base due to the proximity to the beaches and great seafood. Monopoli was special to us to do the time we stayed eating and drinking amazing food and drinks and I wanted to cement the memory of Monopoli with a proposal.
What is your proposal story?
We spent the day roaming the beaches of Monopoli and had a great breakfast and lunch. I told Gabrielle that we had a reservation at a fancy place in Monopoli. We then walked to the harbor where I walked her down the steps and popped the question!
Best tip for proposing in Bari
Some areas in Bari are very crowded. I would also recommend a sunset proposal as the morning and early afternoons can be very busy and hot during the summer time.
Samuel & Maggie's Proposal Story in Reykjavik

Work
What is your love story?
After a few dates it was clear she was the one, we connected from the start, and were the perfect balance to each other.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
She had been to Iceland before and talked about it as the most amazing place on earth, and so I surprised her with a trip to Iceland, and an extra bonus with her family.
What is your proposal story?
It took a little bit of an unexpected turn when she fell and dislocated her knee 10 days before flying to Iceland, and Luis helped me adjust the plan, and had amazing alternatives and it created such an incredible memory.
Best tip for proposing in Reykjavik
Take risks, try something new, explore boundaries with nature and trust the photographer!
Bryce & Ginet's Proposal Story in Lake Como
How did you meet?
School
What is your love story?
We met in high school during gym class. She was a freshman and I was a sophomore. We didn’t start dating until I was a senior, but we were always best friends. From the moment we met, I knew we were meant for each other.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
I knew it had to be something memorable, and I knew I wanted it to be by the water because that is where we feel happiest. We were heading out on a two-week trip through Italy, and Lake Como immediately spoke to me. Then I came across the villa, and the moment I saw it, I knew it was the one.
What is your proposal story?
After a long day of travel, we finally made it to our hotel. We had just an hour before our boat ride and to make things more stressful, our room was delayed by 30 minutes. That left us with barely any time to get ready. We rushed, got dressed in record time, and made it to the boat. My fiancée thought she knew which villa we were headed to, but I surprised her with a completely different one. We arrived at the villa on a beautiful private boat and walked to the entrance. From there, we made our way to the proposal spot where I got down on one knee and asked the big question.

Kevin & Chandler's Proposal Story in Berlin
How did you meet?
Friends/Family
What is your love story?
We met through a mutual friend, her childhood best friend who became my college friend. We had met before and had some crushes but we were about 2hrs apart going to school so we never really connected for another 2 years. We finally reunited with some friends and everyone could tell right away we liked each other by our shared nervousness and attempts to impress each other. From there we went on a few dates and the spark was there immediately. I've never known faster and more definitively that Chandler was my person. We dated long distance, still about 2hrs, for almost a year and Chandler got the opportunity to study abroad in Berlin. I decided to go visit here for about a month and from the moment I arrived, we had the time of our lives. We traveled all over Europe and stayed in Berlin where we really got to live with each other for the first time and truly fall in love. That was almost 8 years ago, and we've lived and loved together through a lot during that time. She just finished grad school and we were heading to Europe to celebrate so it was the perfect opportunity to go back to Berlin and reaffirm our love for each other.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We fell in love in Berlin when Chandler studied abroad there almost 8 years ago. We had the opportunity to finally go back and it seemed like the perfect place to continue that love story and take our relationship and lives to the next stage.
What is your proposal story?
It was great although I was nervous! I kept the proposal as much as a surprise as I could so all Chandler knew was that we had a photo shoot planned which is very unusual for us haha but she didn't seem too suspicious. I bought a ring box that was way too big though and was hard to keep hidden in my pants but I tried to be discreet. We spent the first half of the day walking around the city and made our way over to Charlottenburg Palace were we met our wonderful photographer Irene. She quickly took the reigns and relieved a lot of my tension as we started walking the palace grounds and taking a few photos. The plan she laid out was so detailed I knew exactly what to do and once she gave me the sign, I got down on one knee and tried to get all the words out before I started crying. I'm so glad she did it pretty early on into the shoot so the rest of the time was just stress free and fun as we got to take photos as a newly engaged couple. Such a magical day!
Best tip for proposing in Berlin
We ended up taking the U and S bahns to our location which was great for us but definitely not the most "romantic" experience if that matters to you. I chose to propose at Charlottenburg Palace away from the urban hustle and bustle of the city and main attractions which was perfect for us and led to some beautiful photos with the gardens. I think my advice would be to simply propose here. It's a great city with many beautiful places and sometimes maybe gets a bad wrap compared to cities like Paris when considering proposal spots. But Berlin meant so much more to us that a city like Paris and we found a great location, a great photographer, and ended up having a great proposal story that was perfect for us.

Brennon & Morgan's Proposal Story in Lisbon
How did you meet?
What is your love story?
We both were able to talk to each other so easily and shared a lot of personal beliefs and views. We ended up seeing each other often after our first date.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
We both have family history and roots that have Cape Verdean heritage that leads back to Portugal.
What is your proposal story?
I had planned this as a surprise for months. She knew about our vacation but had no idea about the proposal. We had arrived to Portugal on Sunday 6/15 and have already gone to several view points in Portugal prior to the proposal date on Friday 6/20. The night before, I had my mother suggest that we should go to a view point again at sunrise or sunset for the lighting. I made it seem like a last minute plan and we all agreed on going to the view point at sunrise the next day. Her parents had arrived that night and the next morning I told her I had invited them to come as well which she believed it was so our families can meet each other. When we arrived everyone was already there talking and mingling. After a few minutes of soaking up the view the photographer texted me that the lighting was perfect for the moment. I suggested that we all take photos, and I acted like I asked a random person to take them, but it was our photographer. After we took some with our family, I asked to get one of just us. After the photographer took the picture on my phone she asked if she could take one on her camera and stated she could send it to us. Once she said the cue “it’s perfect” I turned to her and proposed and she was able to capture the entire surprise and our parents were able to capture it on video. She had no idea the proposal was coming, and she was completely shocked and overjoyed.
Best tip for proposing in Lisbon
Proposing at sunrise at the viewpoint for the lighting and there is less traffic of people around which makes the moment more intimate.

Sean & Carolyn's Proposal Story in Santorini
How did you meet?
She became my neighbor before Covid hit and one day as she was doing yard work, I jumped over her fence and offered to help her anytime she needed help. But I would end up doing things like cutting her grass without her asking to!
What is your love story?
I knew she was the one when she when she became the light in my dark world.
What made you choose this proposal destination?
Santorini was the most beautiful destination I’ve ever wanted to visit. I love the Greek culture and history.
What is your proposal story?
Well, I knew it was going to be tricky to do a surprise proposal but I couldn’t have done it without our friends Tiffany and Arni. Long story short, we had planned this trip almost a year prior. But when it was finally time to travel to Greece from the states, our flight got canceled two days in a row and they lost our luggage. It was a complete mess. I also got sick and when it came to proposal day, I woke up and knew I still wanted to propose to Carolyn. Seeing how we handled the crazy situation we were dealt, just made me more sure of asking Carolyn to be my forever!
Best tip for proposing in Santorini
Propose when the sun is going down! If you forget what you were going to say as you propose like I did, the view will come in to save the day!
