"How Did He Ask?" FINALIST: Kris

Here's Kris' story:

"Glen and I have known each other over 37 years, and reconnected 2+ years ago. On the second day of our vacation in Italy, Glen rented a private water taxi to a secluded island looking towards Venice. We were escorted to a private garden overlooking the water. What happened next is what I’ve been waiting for all my life.  As we approached the table with two glasses of wine, Glen leaned over and said, “What a spectacular view, but not as spectacular as you.” He dropped to one knee and asked me to be with him forever."

"How Did He Ask?" FINALIST: Morgan

Here's Morgan's story:

"Joe made my dreams come true and planned a trip to Hawaii. He planned for a luau when we landed, so I changed into a Hawaiian dress and put on the jewelry his mom brought for me. We walked along the beach before the luau and found a little private cove. I had no idea what was to come. Joe got serious and dropped to one knee and asked me if I would marry him. He was so nervous; he opened the box upside down! I said yes! We walked back up for the luau, where they announced our engagement."

"How Did He Ask?" FINALIST: Gwendolyn

Here's  Gwendolyn's story:

"Marc took me to dinner at the restaurant where we had our first date, being seated at the same table we sat two years prior.  Next, we walked along a moonlit lake, where an orchestra was waiting. We danced as they played our song.  A photographer captured the bended-knee proposal. Then I was blindfolded as he drove me to a “surprise destination.” Upon arrival, I took off my mask and heard, "Merry Christmas!" Our 50 closest friends from around the country recreated the Christmas party where we first met for an impromptu engagement party and magical evening."

"How Did He Ask?" FINALIST: Mia

Here's Mia's story:

"Ben and I went on a hike. Ben made it to the top first. Once I arrived, I turned my back to admire the scenery. After a couple minutes, I turned around. Ben wasn't in my line of sight, I was slightly confused. I peered down... there was Ben, one knee on rocky terrain, holding a box open with the most stunning ring! I was shocked and speechless... Once I found words, I said yes and celebrated! Whenever we're together, I feel like I'm on top of the world... in that moment, we truly were, just the two of us."

"How Did He Ask?" FINALIST: Johanna

Here's Johanna's story:

"Ever heard of “Tebowing?” While hiking in Prescott, my fiancé was adamant about finding the “perfect lunch spot”. After 4 hours and on the verge of giving up, we stumbled across a bench between two trees, on the edge of a lake. After a quick bickering session, he convinced me to take a video of our view. When my camera reached Nick he was on a knee. Me being a blonde and him being a sports nut, I thought he was “Tebowing”. I realized he was on his knee for another reason, ran up to him, and said yes."

How Did He Ask? FINALIST: Julia’s Story

"I woke up Christmas morning beside my fiancé, Nick, and was told to wait in bed. When he finally beckoned me outside, the dining room had been transformed with glowing white candles, steaming cups of hot cocoa, and the warm crooning of Bing Crosby’s Christmas hits. “I want to spend every Christmas morning with you, for the rest of my life,” he told me, and my eyes lit up. They filled with tears as he dropped to his knees to give me the Christmas present and memory I will cherish as long as I live."

How Did He Ask? FINALIST: Breann’s Story

"New York is a magical city. I have said that ever since I went there for the first time and placed my wish on the “Wishing Wall” at the Time Square Visitor Center. When I took Daniel there for the first time of course I took him to make a wish, little did I know he look an extra one for something extra special later. It was New Years Eve in Time Square.  After all the confetti wishes had fallen he reached into his pocket and pulled out the small square with the hand written wish 'Will you Marry Me.'"

How Did He Ask? FINALIST: Lysandra’s Story

"The proposal started at lunch. I got a binder with a story he wrote that explained the events of the day. My coworkers led me on a scavenger hunt that decoded the ring's location. At home, the apartment was covered in candlelight! A trail of candles and rose petals led to the bedroom where he laid outfits for me to choose from, roses, a teddy bear, and a locked box that contained the ring! After dinner we stargazed under blankets in the Usery Mountains. There I was given the code, unlocked the box, and he got down on one knee..."

How Did He Ask? FINALIST: Valerie’s Story

"Tim coaches high school hockey and I’m their photographer. At the Annual Alumni game, Tim was performing a ceremonial puck drop and I was on the ice to photograph. I was next to Tim as he bent down to pick up the puck…. and stayed down. All 50 players kneeled. He pulled a puck out of his pocket with our names logo printed on it. A compartment on the back hid my ring. Then he surprised me by calling my twin onto the ice, whom he’d secretly flown in from Florida, along with ALL of our family/ friends appearing in the stands!"
