It was such a beautiful day and then we just went out to explore more of the city. Earlier that day Adam had to secretly hide the ring in his jacket pocket in hopes he could hide it all day (honestly I had no idea he was carrying it all day!). On Christmas night we walked over to the area where the Rockefeller Center Tree was so see it lit up at night.

The glass cages hold about 25 people and it was packed with tourists. I tried to get Kirsten to move over to the non-crowded side, but of course it wasn’t much to look at. She could tell I was starting to get nervous and asked me “Since when are you scared of heights?” That’s when I got down on one knee and responded “It’s not every day I ask the woman of my dreams to marry me”.

We were having a beautiful dinner when he leaned over the table and pulled out an absolutely beautiful diamond ring. We were talking and mid-sentence, Sal grabbed my hand and said “Will you marry me?”

As I was putting the finishing touches on my outfit, another rose arrived instructing me to go to the place where we first met. I knew immediately where I must go so I quickly putt on my coat and headed to our elementary school. There, Michael’s mother was waiting for me to give me my next rose and clue. I was then clued to go to the coffee shop that we have spent many hours throughout the years talking and laughing about our future.

Kevin and I met through a mutual friend. He came over to swim and was so shy that he only said four words to me! I remember thinking that it would be my luck to end up with him. It was!

Jared knew how important friends and family were to Nicole, therefore he wanted to be sure to incorporate them into the proposal. He knew he wanted to do a scavenger hunt, so he also included all of their important “firsts” to reminisce about where the relationship had been, and how much it had grown.

John and I met while we were in 9th grade back in 2007. We started talking, because I went to school with the drummer in his band. Both of us were in very serious relationships in the years after we met, but we always kept in contact. To make a long story short, the fall of our freshman year of college we reconnected after about a year of not talking, and then one thing led to another

Sometimes simpler is best when it comes to proposing– especially around the Christmas season. Forget the flash mobs and the crazy lights and do something sentimental, sweet and just all-round memory making. What better way to do it than with Jolly old, St. Nick himself? Whether you’re going to the mall or have your own Santa on standby, here are some simple ideas that could make your Christmas proposal extra special.

Ahhh, the Fourth of July! What a great day for loving life. National pride, cookouts, fireworks– what’s there not to love? All the more reason to turn this fun holiday into the perfect setting for your proposal. After all, when you kiss her, she’ll definitely see fireworks! A Parade: This guy works in the proposal …

We were looking at the Christmas tree. Mike asked me if I remembered one of the ornament. I said no. When Mike grabbed it, I noticed that there was a small crack in it.
