A Decade-Long Love Story Culminates in a Georgia Vineyard Proposal

Some love stories are built on a lifetime of shared moments, from childhood crushes to long-distance relationships, proving that true love is worth the wait. For Connor and his fiancée, a decade of love led to a beautiful surprise proposal that was both intimate and perfect.

A Journey That Began in Colorado

See what this incredible couple had to say about their love story and their unforgettable engagement:

“Connor and I grew up together in Highlands Ranch, CO. We fell in love fast as kids, not knowing for sure what our future held but knowing at a young age we loved each other. We were high school sweethearts, and although we chose to go to two different colleges to pursue different things, there was no question that we wouldn’t stay together and make long-distance work. After four hard years apart, we were finally able to live in the same place again after graduating, and he kindly moved to LA with me so that I could pursue a career as a professional dancer.

A Ring Designed for Forever

“It was never a question to either of us that we were going to get engaged and then married one day so we spoke about it often and Connor mentioned he wanted to look at rings to get an idea of what I wanted. We were headed to Colorado for Memorial Day weekend and he set an appointment with Mark, who designed his now sister-in-law’s engagement and wedding band. The minute we walked into Mark’s office he made us feel so comfortable and eased us into something we were fairly unfamiliar with. He showed us so many options until we found something we both loved and felt great about.”

The Most Perfect Day

“A little over a month later, Connor, Connor’s family, and I were visiting my family in Georgia, and we planned a day to go to a local vineyard for wine tasting. As I got out of the car I saw a private table reserved for our families covered in rose petals and photos of Connor and I over the past 10+ years. Connor took my hand and walked me over to this beautiful tree where a picnic basket covered in rose petals was lying, and inside was the ring box.

Connor looked at me and said he told his mom he wanted to marry me when he was 14 years old, and ten years later, here we are. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry me, and I, of course, said yes. It was the most perfect day, and we wouldn’t have been the same without Mark’s expert help. Thank you again, Mark!”

A Ring That Symbolizes a Lifetime of Love

The thoughtfulness behind this vineyard proposal, from the family’s presence to the photos chronicling a decade of love, is a beautiful testament to a journey that was always meant to be. The ring is a perfect symbol of this deep and enduring love.
