I love hearing how people were proposed to, so tell me your engagement story! A little backstory: I’m from California but currently living with my FW in Missouri because she was stationed here. Anyways, this past Christmas we went to California so we could spend the holidays with my family....

A little backstory: I’m from California but currently living with my FW in Missouri because she was stationed here. Anyways, this past Christmas we went to California so we could spend the holidays with my family. Christmas morning we were all finishing opening gifts together, when my FW gave me my present from her. When I opened it, there was a little book she made me called “Everything’s Better with You”. It was so sweet she put examples of things she loves about our relationship on each page, then when I got to the last page it said “Will you marry me?” Then she got on one knee and popped the question in front of my whole family! I cried like a baby and obviously said yes!

    We have a long story, but we started dating when we were 15 but broke up before graduating high school, then got back together a few years later. We were together for 4 years before deciding to take a break after we both moved back home after college. A year later I ended up moving in with him to help cut rent costs (had my own room) and we definitely fell back in love then. I told him that "I wouldn't say 'no' if you proposed" and apparently he bought the ring the next day. It took 3 months for us to have a day off at the same time, but he planned out the whole day where we went to a local Family Fun Center for bowling and arcade games and laser tag -- our kind of stuff. I'd assumed he was going to propose when he insisted I wear a dress for bowling. After wearing ourselves out, we went to dinner, he wanted somewhere nice, but we'd skipped lunch and I was hungry, so we went with fast food, then went to an Escape Room. We're both big into games and puzzles and were really excited for this. It was Pirate themed and I've always had a huge fascination with Pirates. Anyway, we start the escape room and I figure he was just going to wait to propose at the end when they do the pictures. So we get most of the way through, finding clues like a Skeleton named Will and one named Mary. the last clue was just the letter U, and I was so confused. I get frustrated when I can't figure things out, so I was getting mad and he wasn't really helping lol. He picked up the names and the letter, then turned and said "Ok, I have to tell you something." Then hung the letters on the wall "Will U Mary" and got down on one knee with the ring.
    His hands and voice were shaking so bad and I forgot to answer, but it was the best day ever.

    Turns out he had gone to the room earlier in the week and rigged it up. He had the company film us through the security cameras lol

    We were outside the Hogwarts Castle at Universal Studios Florida. He put my ring in a golden snitch. We were there to celebrate our 5th anniversary.

    We met in middle school and started dating when we were 13. We broke up for a few years in high school and got back together after we graduated, been together ever since. It's been a dream of mine to go to Yosemite and hike up a 9,000ft mountain called Half Dome. I finally crossed that off my bucket list with my fiancé on 08/29/2017 and he proposed at the top of the mountain! It was breathtaking, so special and intimate, and just perfect.
