Alex and Faith

Alex and Faith

These two met on a cruise, and after one year of doing long distance, Alex moved to where Faith lived. In the middle of a fun-filled day that Alex planned, he mentioned that his boss was with his family on the couple's favorite pier. Faith didn't mind the pit stop, especially when she saw the signs Alex had set up at the end of the pier asking her to marry him.

Jenny and Thomas

Jenny and Thomas

They were in a band together, performing at their church on Mother's Day. At the end of their set, a band member made the announcement that there was one more song — Jenny was not a part of it. She stood there, wondering what was going on, until he sang "I should be over all the butterflies" (a Paramore song), and at that moment she figured out what was happening.

On their two-year anniversary, Tony took Anna to look at engagement rings. She thought he'd propose on that anniversary, so she was a little thrown off when they went ring shopping that morning.

It was Christmas time, and Danny wanted to propose with Christmas lights behind them. He asked a photographer to find out if Sam would model with Danny for a Christmas shoot she wanted to do.
