In November 2009 Brock asked me out on our first date. We went to Rainbow Haven, where he made an impressive bonfire and we laughed hysterically all night. A couple of months later, on New years Eve, he asked me to be his girlfriend while confetti and balloons fell from the ceiling at exactly midnight. […]

Recently Engaged: Karen & Brian
About two years ago the parent-in-laws were teasing me about when I would tie the knot with little lady. Thinking myself to be clever (and buying me a little time), I responded with the idea that I required a dowry of one goat. Eventually the wine flowed and the topic was dropped. Almost a year […]

Francisco and I met here in Halifax when his band was touring. Franc attended NSCAD and became the drummer for a local band Scribbler. The sparks flew when we met and spent an entire night at the seashore talking. Franc asked me to join his new band, The Free Mansons and we went on tour […]

Recently Engaged: Alison & John
When you think “proposal”, what pops into your mind? For me, it used to be a romantic dinner, a bended knee, flowers perhaps. Our engagement story didn’t exactly turn out like that. I suppose you could call it romantic comedy, with an emphasis on the “comedy” part. On the weekend before my 30th birthday, I […]

Recently Engaged: Julia & Justin
Nearly 3 years ago Julia decided it was time for a change. She moved out west thinking she would come back with new experiences and cash in her pocket. She never considered she’d be coming back with a husband & baby on the way. Soon after arriving at camp Julia & Justin were set up […]

Recently Engaged: Sophie & Todd
My fiancée proposed with 10 ft red letters on the side of a mountain; unfortunately a snow storm blocked the view! Last spring, Todd took me backcountry skiing in Rossland, BC. All morning he was hoping the snow would stop, an abnormal request in a ski town! The previous day Todd had skied through the […]

Recently Engaged: Katie & Dustin
Our special moment started with quite the long road trip. I was working in Alberta for the summer and Katie was going to school at the Mount. So we spent almost 6 months apart before we finally got to see each other. We had planned a road trip with her sister and husband to Alaska. […]

Recently Engaged: Amanda & James
In August 2007 James left for military basic training. It was a long 4 months before I saw him again. During that time, like all women, I spent a little bit of time in the jewellery stores. I spied the engagement rings, and my heart was set. I knew then, as I had known for […]

Recently Engaged: Lynn & Robinson
I grew up in a small town in Nova Scotia. My parents lived in the house I grew up in for 32 years and I have many beloved memories growing up there with my family. When my parents could no longer look after our turn of the century home, the house was sold to a […]

Daniel and I are High School Sweethearts and have been building our life together for 7 years now. We’ve known for some time that we’d one day get married, and I was very excitedly looking forward to the day when he would ask me to be his wife. Our engagement came on a day that […]

Recently Engaged: Carolyn & Kevin
[image-1] Near the mid point of 2009, Carolyn and I had just celebrated the 13th year in our relationship. I initially thought that with 13+ years of build up, this proposal had better be as thoughtful and exciting as she deserves, but I quickly realized chartering a private plane for an overnight ‘rendezvous’ to an exotic location wasn’t really in the budget. I challenged myself to come up with a proposal that would be unique, meaningful and fun. While in the process of searching for the perfect engagement ring, I mentioned in passing to one of the jewellers how it

Recently Engaged: Jennifer & Hans
We met in university and had been dating for three years at the time of the proposal. It was always my belief that Hans would propose after he finished his education therefore when he did pop the question it came as a complete surprise to me because he still had two years left of his […]
