The pair walked hand in hand down the beach, happening across a beautiful picnic blanket that our team members had set up for them, complete with two dozen red roses and a chilled bottle of champagne.  Isaac’s saxophone was also there, and after surprising Laura with a romantic serenade, he dropped to one knee and proposed!   Witness their sweet seaside engagement unfold in their full proposal slideshow.

Isaac shared with us the inspiration behind his beach proposal, and the story of how he and Laura met and fell in love!

Their Love Story:

Isaac and Laura first met online.  After exchanging initial messages, they decided to meet up in person.  Conversation and laughter flowed easily on their first date.  They found out they had a lot of common interests, including music.  Isaac is a lawyer by day and a saxophonist in his free time, which Laura found extremely charming!

It was clear from the first time they met in person that they had something special, and their initial feelings continued to grow the more time they spent together.  Isaac says he knew very early on that Laura was the one for him!

The Marriage Proposal Plan:

Isaac knew he wanted to incorporate the beach and their mutual love of music into their engagement.  With these initial ideas in mind, he reached out to Paparazzi Proposals to help him plan and capture a stunning shoreside marriage proposal. After chatting with one of our proposal experts, Isaac decided our Beautiful Beach proposal package was the perfect addition to their engagement.

The Engagement Ring

Our paparazzi-style proposal photographer discreetly snapped away as Isaac serenaded Laura before proposing with a stunning engagement ring from Jared’s!

After the initial shock wore off, the pair shared a champagne toast to celebrate, and took in the stunning ocean views, before our photographer introduced himself and joined them for a post-proposal portrait session!

After the engagement shoot, the happy couple concluded an incredible day with a celebratory dinner at their favorite nearby restaurant!

How They Met

Hadlei was a manager at the supplement store at their local gym. Nick noticed her after returning from a church mission in Argentina, and immediately took to Instagram to ‘thoroughly stalk’ her social media, he admitted.

Under the guise of trying to decide on supplements, he contacted her to schedule meeting up at the gym to try some product samples.

The connection was instant, and mutual!

After a brief chat, Hadlei asked him for his phone and saved her number. She suggested they do something soon, and Nick happily agreed!

Nick was instantly attracted to Hadlei’s smile, and drawn in by how she wanted to be part of his life. She was attracted to his smile and build, and immediately impressed by how respectful and gentlemanly he was.

How They Knew

Hadlei insists that she knew from the very beginning that Nick was The One. Her decision to give him her number was the start of something she already knew would be incredible.

When the pair first started dating, Nick was in the middle of preparing for a bodybuilding competition and was impressed with how supportive Hadlei was— which is when he had the first inclination that they shared something special.

“She was always there helping me cook my food and keeping me company,” he gushed. “We got to know each other really well, and day after day, I was more attracted to her!”

A month or two after they started dating, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. They spent much of their time together, and their time apart they spent texting.

“My heart felt different with her!” Nick said, and that is when he knew for certain that he had found The One.

The Proposal

Nick knew Hadlei wanted a ring that was unique, so he worked with a family friend at a private diamond dealer to design the ring from scratch, inspired by antique designs. They kept it a secret and were able to complete it in just a few weeks, right in time for the big moment!

He set about the grand plan. After he had booked the plane tickets, he reached out to his friend, a business travel agency owner, to get a room at the fully booked Loews Coronado Bay Resort. He consulted Hadlei’s friends and her mom to plan a getaway that would be meaningful and special to her. Then, he coordinated with Paparazzi Proposals to determine the perfect plan for popping the question!
