How did your significant other propose…or how did you propose?

Drove me up to the waterfall where we had our first date/first kiss. We prayed together before he popped the question.

Sitting in front of Vail Hall at Samford University, he said, “When we get married,” but that’s as far as he got. I said, “No one has asked me.” He then, being the proper gentleman, asked!

-Anne Lucas

My friend set up a fun “girls only” photo shoot, so I’d be dressed up for the engagement pictures!

-Erika Yarborough

We hiked a trail leading to cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. While I was admiring the view, he pulled out a ring and asked me to be his bride. I said YES!

We were sitting on the sofa at my grandfather’s house. Craig Dobbins said, “Will you marry me?” I said, “Sure, I don’t have anything better to do this weekend.”

-Julie Dobbins

We joked we were married from almost the beginning. One day we got “fake rings.” In the future we will have a “real wedding,” but if you know us, our proposal story fits us!
