More Amazing Wedding Proposal Stories

Valentine's Day is just a few short weeks away, so we're in an even more romantic mood around our Miami wedding dress store than usual.  This seems like the perfect time to lose ourselves in YouTube wedding proposal videos!  Our first wedding proposal blog featured a lot of great stories, and today we are adding more. 

Ladies, Brides of America wants you to sit back, enjoy, and start daydreaming. Fellas, feel free to use all of these as inspiration if you are ready to pop the question!   

Pitch Perfect





Office Romance



Monika and Tim had been working in the same office for a year when he finally asked her on a first date. Though it took him a long time to ask her out, he wasted no time with the marriage proposal.

From Tim: "We moved very quickly. After our second date, we were pretty much living together because we couldn't stand to be apart. After five weeks of dating, no one in our office knew that we were even seeing each other (it was against company policy).

One day we were in a staff meeting with our boss and about 30 other employees, I was giving a presentation using a slide projector, crunching numbers about a huge project we had coming up. As I was wrapping up the presentation, I said, 'I have one more thing.'

I flipped to the final slide and there it was for the whole office to see. The slide said, 'Monika, Will You Marry Me?'

She was so shocked that she almost fainted. After catching her breath, Monika accepted and we got married four months later."



She Thought He Was Getting The Gift






Romantic Deja Vu

"She's American. He's Irish. They met in Italy and started out as friends. Friends who liked each other A LOT. But after months of just friends, she thought she read the signals wrong, until one night at the bar he slipped her a napkin. 'I really like you,' he had written. Fast-forward four years and many international adventures later, and they are sitting at a bar in Berlin reminiscing. He pulls a napkin out of his pocket. She takes it, confused. 'Years ago I told you I liked you just like this. Now I'm asking: Will you marry me?' it read."



Very Crafty




    Vacation Surprise

    "My fiancé proposed to me while we were on vacation in San Francisco and Napa Valley. While we were touring Sterling Vineyard, we went on a private walk amongst the grapes. It was gorgeous. He stopped and told me he had been having such a wonderful first half of our trip with me as his girlfriend. Then he knelt down on one knee and said he would love to spend the rest of it with me as his fiancée. I was so surprised that I had to ask him if I had said 'yes!' We've been together for five and a half years, and we can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together." —Selina Ray

    Hopefully these stories made you smile and provided a little romantic incentive. Don't worry fellas, not all girls need a big production.  As long as it is sincere and special for the two of you, it is a perfect proposal.  

    Step 1 is fall in love.  Step 2 is get engaged.  Step 3 is make an appointment at Brides of America to find your dream wedding dress!  One of our favorite perks about working in the best bridal gown store in Miami is getting to see a bride's face light up when she tells us her proposal story.  We can't wait to hear yours!

    He Proposed!! Our Favorite Proposal Stories

    This week Brides of America is taking a break from fashion talk and instead, thinking about the reason that you need a dress in the first place... HE PROPOSED!  There are as many different ways to propose as there are future grooms out there to do the asking (or future brides, if you're the one wanting to pop the question!)  Here are a few sweet, funny, romantic, and even over-the top ways that it could happen.  Grab a box of tissues and read on.

    Holiday




    Sentimental

    "My fiancé proposed on August 8, 2011, our one-year anniversary. We were at the same mini golf place where we went on our first date. On our first date, he tried to kiss me under this cave they have there and I denied him because I was oblivious to what was happening (mainly because I take mini golf very seriously!).
    So he decided to make up for that a year later. He proposed — after asking my parents for their blessing — and I was so in shock that I said, 'Wait, what?' He whisked me away the following week to Florida to celebrate with my family. It was the happiest moment of my life. I'm really glad we turned a fail from our first date into something amazing!"
    —Alexis B. from BridalGuide.com

    Treasure Hunt

    "My fiancé set up a proposal scavenger hunt in Disneyland since I've always been a huge Disneyland fan. Each clue (there were six) brought us to a different ride in the park, and a staff member at the end of each ride handed me the next clue. The last one took me to Rapunzel's room. Rapunzel told me to close my eyes and make a wish, and when I opened them, he was down on one knee."
    —Sarah M. from BridalGuide.com


    Favorite Activity



    Short but Sweet

    We both stood, hand in hand, looking at the Great Smoky Mountains. “I thought of proposing in a nice restaurant,” he said, “but I wanted to pick a place that would be here forever for you.”
    -Christie from BridalMusings.com

    Friends and Family






    A lot of those take quite a bit of work to pull off.  Not every girl needs a giant show to say yes.  Maybe all she needs is for him to look into her eyes and sincerely ask.  If you are at the point of marriage, then he should know you well enough to know how extravagant to go.

    Here's a very important tip from all of us that love to read about and watch all of these proposal stories- hire a photographer!  If you have someone secretly recording the entire thing, you will both have it to look at for years to come, and you can share it with the world.

    However it happens for you, once you get over the surprise and initial excitement, visit us at the best bridal gown store in Miami or shop our wedding dresses online to find your dream dress.  We will make your shopping experience just as special as the day you were asked to get married.
