A mutual friend introduced them, and they became good friends over the course of the next year. Spencer, who says he is often reluctant to trust people, felt instantly at ease with Mackenzie, and Mackenzie admired the time and effort Spencer put into building their friendship.

In January of 2014, Mackenzie returned to college in another state, but the two kept in touch. Spencer soon came to visit, and by the end of the trip they both agreed that their relationship had grown from a solid friendship into a true romance.

Love was stronger than distance–1300 miles, to be exact– and the two continued to date over the next year. Their relationship blossomed, and they fell deeply in love.

Spencer, who had stuck to an organized plan for his life up until this point, began to notice a shift in his outlook.

“I was willing to forget about my plans, because I would rather have her than continue my plans without her,” he said.

Mackenzie began to consider the possibility of quitting school and moving back to Texas in order to be together, because she knew she wouldn’t be happy without him in her life.

The two discussed marriage and a future together. Mackenzie knew that Spencer would be proposing soon, but he wanted to make sure the experience surprised her with how romantic and thoughtful it was.

After reviewing several Dallas proposal ideas, Spencer felt a romantic gondola ride would make for the perfect proposal.

With some help from our friends at Gondola Adventures, he was able to transform Dallas into Venice for their big moment.  He kept it a secret because he wanted it to be a special event that he and Mackenzie could share and remember forever.

That day, Mackenzie said yes to a lifetime of love, friendship and romance when Spencer presented her with a beautiful ring from Kay Jewelers in Fort Worth. Check out all of the photographs from their magical afternoon, here!

Now this is how you propose in Dallas! Josh contacted Paparazzi Proposals for our unique brand of surprise proposal photography. So we first set him up with our friends at Gondola Adventures to ensure he would have an amazing backdrop for these one-of-a-kind photographs.

There were even more surprises! As their gondolier gently guided them on a romantic ride along the canals of Las Calinas, Christina noticed a bottle floating in the water…

As she pulled the bottle from the canal and opened it, she was surprised to find a love letter. As her eyes slowly started to scan the note, Josh made his move. He got onto one knee, pulled out a gorgeous engagement ring from Fuller’s Jewelry and asked Christina to marry him. Spoiler alert…she said “YES!” Paparazzi Proposals’ surprise proposal photography captured it all! Check out the heartwarming photos here.

Even more heartwarming than the proposal? Their love story! Introduced by  mutual friends while attending the University of Texas at Arlington back in 2012, they first played it safe and met briefly for lunch a few times to get to know one another. From the moment they met Josh was taken aback by her stunning looks. More importantly to him, she was also kind and caring. Christina on the other hand, was immediately attracted to his values and honesty. They both enjoyed the afternoons they spent together so much, they felt ready for their first “official” date at the legendary State Fair of Texas. And so began this crazy dance we call love!

After dating for a while, they decided to buy a dog together. This brought out a tender and caring side Christina had not seen before. It melted her heart, and she realized he was the man for her. When asked the moment he knew she was “the one,” things happened a little quicker for Josh. While on that first date at the fair, he admitted to being instantly hooked by how much fun she was. After spending several hours with her on that day, he only wanted to spend even more, and knew this was the woman he wanted by his side for the rest of his life. Here’s to them living happily ever after!
