John and Melissa were together for three years, and both had made some sacrifices for the relationship. Well, really Melissa made quite a few sacrifices for the relationship. Within a few months of dating she started talking about marriage, but John kind of skirted the issue. When they graduated grad school, Melissa even limited her job search to where John was moving so they could continue to be in the same place.

However, her sacrifice didn’t go unnoticed. John decided after all she had done for him, he was going to make his marriage proposal all the more special. He had photographers waiting to capture the moment, and flew out his parents and her parents for the special occasion as well. It was all, of course, a big surprise.

While Melissa is thrilled and astounded with John’s proposal, her happiness level escalates when he tells her to turn around and she spots both sets of parents. John knew how important it was to her for their families to be present for this momentous occasion, and I don’t think anyone could have made her happier.

I think it’s so funny that they actually forgot to put the ring on her finger before the parents were revealed and the hugs/kisses/tears shared.
