Jeff’s Central Park after dark engagement to Tia was as romantic as a Midsummer Night’s Dream.  After dinner, Jeff had arranged for a horse and carriage to pick them up and bring them the Bethesda Fountain.  Here, a musician was waiting to serenade them with their favorite Disney songs!  At the crescendo of The Little Mermaid’s “Kiss the Girl,” Jeff dropped to one knee and asked Tia for her hand in marriage.

Jeff gushed about his experience:

“From start to finish, designing and planning to execution, Paparazzi Proposals worked with me one-on-one to ensure that not only my expectations were met, but also that my proposal was like a “dream come true,” and done so in a comfortable and professional manner! Every aspect and detail of my customized proposal package was well though t out and executed to perfection.  The photos prior, during and after I proposed are both beautiful and breathtaking!”

But as we know, every fairytale ending has a perfect beginning!

How They Met:

Back to where it all began! The highschool sweethearts at Jeff’s Senior prom. Photo provided by Jeff.

Jeff and Tia attended the same high school.  Jeff, a Varsity ice hockey player, was a year older than cheerleader Tia.  Though the pair had admired each other from afar, they were officially introduced through mutual friends.

Jeff thought Tia was stunning and a cute cheerleader, and Tia was impressed by the handsome upperclassman.  As they began to spend more time together, Jeff’s heart was totally won over by Tia’s intelligence and vibrant personality, and she was won over by his kindness and loving nature.

Jeff asked Tia to his Senior Prom, and the two have been falling in love more and more each day ever since.

How They Knew:

Tia and Jeff both knew early on that they had found The One.  They were happy being together, and wanted to take time to pursue their careers before they took they got engaged.

“We were just happy and content being a couple, being together and being in love!” Said Jeff, adding that he knew for years that he would propose, he was just waiting for it to be the perfect time for them both.

The Proposal:

Jeff took it back to the beginning by planning the proposal at the same location where they took a trip as a couple for the first time.

“We both love NYC and together we both share great memories of prior NYC trips,” he said.  “Every aspect and detail of my proposal to Tia was a reflection of not only prior trips we’ve taken to NYC together, but also reflections of our relationship past, present and as a whole,” he added.

The pair took a carriage ride on their first NYC trip, so he made sure their proposal featured one.  They also often shared dinners at Tavern On The Green, their go-to spot on former trips.  The couple loves taking trips to Disney World together, so he had a musician play a few of their favorite classic songs.

“And, I hope I am her prince she dreamed of her entire life,” he also revealed.

After they shared a romantic waltz beneath the stars, he dropped to one knee and popped the question before pointing out Paparazzi Proposals‘ sneaky photog, who had discreetly captured the whole thing!  Check out the package Jeff booked and then customized, here.

Lucas and Silvia’s love is so strong enough that it fought against long distance and has persevered.

Anyone who has been in a long distance relationship will tell you that it’s not easy. Long distance relationships may have more pessimists than optimists but the optimists that fight for their love are the one who we as a society awe in amazement at. They are the reason why we still believe in love. Lucas and Silvia’s love is the perfect example of how love can withstand the test of distance and come out winning despite it all. Lucas met his sweetheart Silvia while the two were in high school in Brazil. In case you’re wondering, yes, high school sweethearts still exist. But what’s peculiar about this terrific couple is that they were friends first. That’s what captivated Lucas. Silvia’s ability to be a friend before anything is what united them and they didn’t even know it.

When the time came for the two to choose their education, Silvia came to America to study and the two remained dating. Lucas then moved to the states and they’ve been together ever since till one day, Lucas wanted to push their relationship further. He wanted to ask for Silvia’s hand in marriage.
