"She Said Yes!" - Real Life Proposal Stories

We are so glad everyone enjoyed the first part of "She Said Yes," and we are here with more love stories to share. Keep reading to find out how Alexa and Hilary said yes to the man of their dreams!

Alexa and David Getting married on June 17, 2017 at Collingswood Grand Ballroom and Theater in Collingswood

David popped the question on November 13th, 2015 at California Grill Penthouse in Walt Disney World. Read how Alexa "Said Yes" below!

"Dave, Little Dave (his 11-year-old son), and myself took a trip to Disney for a few days. It happened our first night, while out for dinner. Dave told me that our dinner was part of our hotel package, which floored me because it was notably fancy. I remember we were all a bit fatigued between the flight and all of the perusing around we had done at the parks, so I felt under-dressed. The three of us sat alongside of the Hercules of all windows, where you could gaze down at the blazing lights of Disney. After we ate, Dave asked me if I wanted dessert. I said no, but agreed for coffee since we planned to stay for fireworks. After returning from the ladies room, a group of spirited servers strolled over to our table with a flaring, shiny, silver cloche. BAM, they put it in front of me and threw magical confetti all over the table. They brought out champagne, sparkling cider, and the dessert that I lied and said I didn't want. Underneath of the dome was a glass slipper with a ring in it! Little Dave got up with a camera and Dave got on one knee. Little did I know they had a GoPro recording everything as well. I was such an Iliad of emotions!

Overwhelmed...overjoyed...over the moon!

I thank my "fiance" (hehe) and "future bonus-son" (xoxo) for such a magical night."

Hilary and Michael Getting married on December 15th, 2017 at The Hamilton Manor in Hamilton

Michael popped the question on December 6th, 2016 at The Pluckeman Inn Restaurant. Read how Hilary "Said Yes" below!

"We had had our venue picked out for some time in order to save the date for a December 2017 wedding. However, Mike still wanted the proposal to be surprise. One afternoon my mom had said she wanted to take the two of us out to dinner to talk about a few things. I didn’t think anything of it and ran it by Mike. He had been working quite a bit during this time and had suggested the Pluckemin Inn because it was within walking distance to our house and he could get back to work soon after dinner. I was a little confused as to why he would want to go to a more upscale restaurant for such a casual dinner but, I did not think much of it as it was convenient. It was raining heavily when he got home from work. As we headed to the front of the restaurant Mike stopped me in front of the entrance way that was covered in twinkle lights and holiday themed decor. He shared with me the most beautiful words and then got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. When we walked in both his parents and my parents were waiting for us at the table…I was in such shock I started jumping up and down! We had a wonderful dinner and I could not have been any happier. Later, after we were home from dinner we had looked at the stats on Mike’s new iWatch. His heart rate spiked into the hundreds minutes before he proposed! I never would have guessed how nervous he was, it was everything I could have hoped for!"
