Story: We were spending our last college spring break on the island of Kauai. Our four year "anniversary" had just passed but we chose not to really celebrate because we were trying to save money for our trip. He started our special day by surprising me with side-by-side massages in a cabana at a local resort just off the beach. He told me that he wanted to do something special because we didn't get to celebrate our anniversary. On our walk back to the beach after massages he informed me that the surprises weren't over and that we were going out to a fun dinner. We walked out to the parking lot and there was a Mustang convertible waiting for us to use. He had gone to the airport early that morning, and rented the car, all before I was even awake! And, didn't tell me all day! So, we were cruising the mustang and he said that we were going to the Hyatt to get a drink and watch the sunset from a cliff overlooking the ocean. We hiked up to the best location to watch the most beautiful sunset (also famed for the Harrison Ford and Anne Heche plunge from the cliff in "6 Days and 7 Nights"). I was in such awe of the gorgeous scenery that I didn't notice Dan getting down on one knee. He proposed there, on Shipwrecks Cliff. We finished the night with a delicious dinner at a great restaurant right on the water.

Story: This June my family, Chris' family and my sister's boyfriend's family went to Las Vegas to celebrate birthdays and graduations. On the third day of our trip Chris dragged me away from the pool to "go to lunch" with his parents. I agreed (pouting) and while we were waiting for his parents to pick us up, a limo arrived in front of the hotel. Chris told me that he got us a limo for my birthday and recent graduation from grad school. I was thrilled and very excited :). As we climbed into the limo he also informed me that he had another surprise. We were going on a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon (I had always wanted to go!). The ride was amazing and when we landed inside the Grand Canyon we had a fabulous champagne lunch and got to walk around and see the amazing view. Before we had to take back off Chris asked the pilot if he would take a picture of us in front of the view. As we were posing for a picture Chris dropped to one knee and asked me to marry him!! I was completely surprised! Amazing!!! Even better my ring was just as amazing and from LaRog :)

Story: Jeff took me to Salishan, a resort at the beach, and decorated our bedroom in red rose pedals and hundreds of mini candles.. I walk in the room and he's on his knee and asks me to marry him. Of course I said yes and we will be getting married soon. We love LaRog Jewelers. I couldn't be happier with all the help from Denny Lund. We won't shop anywhere else for jewelry. We will be together for three years when we finally tie the knot.

Story: The first time Jonny and I spent time together was the 4th of July, 2004. A group of us gathered to watch the fireworks along the river at Willamette Park. As the show ended and people began to leave, just 6 of us were left - 3 girls and 3 guys. We (the girls) decided we were going to teach the guys to waltz. As it would happen, the first "date" Jonny & I ever had was dancing under the stars until early in the morning. Jonny was more of a romantic than I ever gave him credit for. On March 20th (4 months ago) he "kidnapped" me and took me down to Willamette Park. There I found candles and roses covering the soggy grass. There he knelt down and proposed in what might have been the most shocking and unexpected proposal of all time - it's a long story! But I said "yes" and we set the date for exactly 6 months later. Yesterday we found his ring at LaRog. And in 2 months we'll say our vows...

Story: Kevin and I met in the 6th grade and we got together--you know that lil' crush. I had to change schools so we lost contact, until he found out what school I had moved to and transferred too. So in the seventh grade when we came back from summer vacation there he was. We hooked up again spent about a year "together"--kid things. So we lost contact again because he had to move away. But to this day I still have the teddy bear he gave me when it was Valentines Day! So life moved on and we found each other again in high school and dated again. But because we had different ideas about things, we didn't last. So 2 years after high school I came across him and we started seeing each other again! :) Well by then I had had a kid but he still accepted me and my son. Ever since then we have been together! Now he is my best friend, my son's stepfather (my son loves him to death), we are having a lil' girl coming in the next 30 days or less, and getting everything we wanted together as a team!! Kevin and I are even getting our first house together and he just bought me a car for getting my license! We are so perfect in my mind and we do everything together and best thing is we do not even fight! I even have so much fun calling him my husband now. People consider us already married!

Story: Keith and I met in college, when I was only 18. We became friends through the choir class that we took together. (Neither of us took choir after that, once we found eachother, there was no need.) The day that Keith and I were going to go on our very first date, a found out that I was extremely sick and needed to have an emergency surgery that was life threatening. Keith had a choice. He could stay by my side, even though we were just new friends, or he could go on his way, without any heart ache or problems. He chose to stay by my side. He came and saw me every day that I was in the hospital and recovering. He has done the same every day since. He is my best friend and I am so excited to soon call him my husband.

Story: We met 16 1/2 years ago with no intentions of ever taking
anything further as he was married and so was I. We saw each other on
and off as I worked as a bank teller and he was a customer. We would
chit chat and fill each other in on the current affairs of our lives as
we were both married with children. He has been divorced over 15 years
and I divorced after 13 years of marriage. I remarried shortly after
only to have another failed marriage. We ran into each other and I
thought to myself, he has been single for over 15 years and he has been
in and out of my life and there has been some type of chemistry, I need
to see what this is all about. I believe we were supposed to be together
but the timing was never right. Now it is, it might sound corny but we
have lived it and can not tell you how happy or in love we both are. For
us this relationship is different than any other, we are truly lucky!

Story: Randy and I met over 16 years ago, in high school! We were
friends, but didn't become romantically interested in each other until
we were 19. The timing, however, was never right for us to be together.
We remained in touch through the years through different stages of our
lives and different states and even countries. Then, incredibly, July
4th, 2007, the timing became right and we're thrilled to find each
other! We appreciate the time to grow and gain wisdom, preparing us for
this very happy union together. I appreciate Randy even more for the
time spent apart!
