Let us share our Proposal Stories!

Wow! That is SO similar! haha I love it!! Congrats girl!

OMG this is so similar to ours!

We got engaged on August 22, 2020 after being together for about 7.5 years! We went for a hike in Coquitlam with our two best friends and he proposed at the top. He told them before, so they were taking pictures, me thinking they were normal ones.

We'd been talking about getting engaged for a little while, and I definitely may have been pushing hard for it all summer hahaha.

Short version: I proposed on our 5th anniversary

Long version: I booked a weekend getaway for our anniversary and her friends egged her on, telling her I'll be proposing, something I anticipated they would do. I concocted a whole scheme where I pretended to have terrible taste in rings, taking her to cheap jewelry stores and trying on some badly made rings. Even when we went to legit shops, I would ask the salesperson to show us some horrible looking rings lol. On our anniversary weekend, I said I was not ready to purchase her ring since I clearly didn't know what she wanted and I didn't want to disappoint her. I said I could give her a promise ring as a sign of commitment, that we could consider ourselves engaged and she could pick her dream ring leading up to the wedding that I can save up for. That got her a tad excited lol until I whipped out this ring...

So we went about the rest of our weekend, her thinking she won't be engaged. Fast forward to the next day, on our actual anniversary date, we had breakfast, enjoyed a coffee went on a walk where we ended up on the Rotary Bridge in Port Hope. I asked two young ladies to help us take a photo (fun fact: she didn't want me to bug people to take a photo at first and suggested we just take a selfie instead - I like to jokingly tell her how she almost ruined the proposal ). Took some regular shots before I got down on one knee and proposed.

Me: "Yes, it is real"

Her: "Ooooh. Yes! "

Thanks to the ladies for their enthusiasm while screaming "OH MY GOD, THIS IS SO COOL!!!" and frantically kept hitting the camera button to make sure our moment was captured perfectly hahaha

We got engaged August.14th/2020 and I had ZERO clue it was happening.

We have been together years (7.5 by engagement date) and finally (pre-covid) had talked about getting engaged and I personally had mentioned I really wanted to be engaged by the end of 2020 so we can get the ball rolling. Cue COVID - we had to have more talks about how financially he couldn't afford it right now due to less work and we will have to wait.

We decided to do a mini-getaway to Whistler with my best friend & her boyfriend in August. We did the gondola up the mountain, which we had never done before, and then once we got to the top we hiked even more up to a lookout point for pictures. My fiancé had told my best friend this was happening days before we left, and had planned for her to pretend she was taking pictures but actually video the whole thing. It was a perfect spot and perfect day! Then I got to celebrate with my best friend all weekend too!

Not really. We just wanted to keep it close as possible to our original date. Also being the first real week in August is normally amazing weather around 30-38 in Kelowna so we want to take advantage of that as well!

Nervous already, my fiancé is back from the field (he is in the military) so we have finally been starting to do some planning and we already have changed our date to an earlier date than originally planned. That took a full 4 hours last night LOL, but yeah somethings are excited but something are exhausting.

Thanks Hope your planning is going right as well

Thank you!! I hope so too! This is the second time we've had to postpone so I'm hoping third times a charm

Lovely story!!

My fiance purposed to me December 25th 2017 right beside the Christmas tree at our home with just the two of us About a week before Christmas, I had noticed a somewhat of a big box under the tree. Of course I shook it just to see but I couldn't hear anything lol Fast forward a week later to Christmas, we both had opened all of our gifts to each other except for one. That box. He told me to open it. So I did. Unwrapped the box and opened it to find a second box inside. By the time I had opened the second box, he was already on the ground on one knee and that's when we asked me to marry him!! It was absolutely perfect

Such a beautiful story!!

Mine happened on March 27th of this year, we randomly decided to go to the pub for some good eats and drinks to watch hockey and ended up on the rooftop patio where the sun was setting and the lights and the fire place was lit up, pulled out the ring and said he loved me very much and loved how we do so many spontaneous things together and this feels like the right moment to ask you will you marry me.

INSTANT TEARS. it was so perfect because it was so us, not too crowded, our favorite place to be and completely random.
