Wendy & Arash

Arash proposed to Wendy on the evening of August 25, 2011. Comfy on the couch at home Wendy saw a preview for the movie The Switch and got really excited because it looked like a great movie. When she found out that the movie was going to start playing right then and there she yelled, "I love it when that happens, I don't have to wait for the movie to come out in the theater, it's going to play right now!". Then it went something like this....
Arash: "I love it when you get all excited! I love you, I'm going to marry you someday" Wendy: "Oh yeah, well why don't you propose to me then if your so in love!" Arash: "you really want me to, I will. Right now! Go in the room & come out when I tell you to" So Wendy get's up, goes in the bedroom and after about 8 minutes she starts to wonder what in the world is he doing....could he be serious!?! She starts pacing back in forth with excitement thinking that he may be really getting ready to ask her. Wendy walks out into the living room & Arash is pacing back & forth with a candle lit on the table. He asks her to sit down on the couch & he gets down on one knee & tells her how much he cares for her & loves her....after a few minutes he starts to get hot & nervous & requests to go outside. Arash grabs a chair on the front patio and has her sit in it, then surrounds her with candles & tomato plants. Yes, I said tomato plants! He gets back down on one knee & continues his speech. Wendy could tell he was nervous so she suggested that they go inside to the bedroom. In the room Arash got down on his knee AGAIN & Wendy started telling Arash how much he meant to her. She told him that she didn't know if he was being serious or kidding around like they always do, but regardless, she loves him & he is her best friend. After Wendy's speech to Arash he pulled out a blue box & asked for her hand in marriage. Wendy couldn't believe it & asked, "Are you serious!? Yes!!!!"

Jenna & Ben

Jen is very hard to surprise. She is very aware of people's actions and what those actions mean.
Ben had planned to propose to Jen the night that she had made dinner and was going to accompany Ben to the lake. She knew! Ben kept saying "I want to make the sunset, I'm so upset..." and so on. Jen knew because he was acting way more meticulous than usual. They left shortly due to an abundant amount of mosquitoes and people in the same area.
Jen was sad because she knew Ben was going to propose and because she knew he was upset about it.
He slept over that night. Jen knew he was going to try again that morning. He went to the car while she was still in bed, made her coffee, and it all just seemed right. He, again, didn't do it. Jen even called her mom saying "I'm really upset, I think he was going to propose last night AND this morning but he didnt."
That day, they went on a hike. No shower, no makeup, and hair was messed up. Jen wasn't in the best of moods, which made Ben really hesitant to pop the question. Jen assumed he wouldn't because of the setting. Just his luck, he'd lose it in the dirt or plants. They started talking about moving forward in their relationship. Ben starts talking about how he can't wait to buy a home and really get their lives started. Jen states, "Honestly honey, I really just want to start my life with YOU. The house and the move sound great, but it wouldn't be right without you." Ben suddenly asks "Can we stop and each lunch on this rock right here?"
She starts to pull it out and he says, "I'm glad you feel that way..." and gets on one knee. Jen's look on her face was complete shock! She had no idea! He asked, she smiled, nodded, and then as they kissed, Jen stated "I hate you!" The reason why she said that was because she knew this whole time! She knew the night before, that morning, but she genuinely had no idea when the time came.
They were engaged September 4th 2011 in the middle of the day during their hike. Brody, their 80 pound lab, was able to share this experience while on the hike!

Shelley & Aaron

Aaron tried to surprise Shelley with a romantic walk on the beach to enjoy the sunset. He blew his cover when he decided to take this walk during the NBA Finals. Shelley knowing Aaron and his love for sports suddenly knew something out of the ordinary was going on. As they walked down the beach they encountered a huge canal of water that was blocking the path to Aaron's surprise. This is when he began to panic and wanted to walk across 4 feet of water in his jeans. Shelley would not let him, so they took the long way there. As they walked down the other side of the hill, Shelley was surprised with a blanket full of rose petals and candles. That is where Aaron dropped down on one knee and asked Shelley to marry him. Shelley was so excited that she wouldn't even let him finish. She just said yes of course.....and the rest is history!

Jackie & Cameron

In the words of Cameron:

The Setup
I told Jackie we were going to a baseball game at Petco park. It was the Padres vs Colorado Rockies. But first we needed to stop at my bosses house to get the free Petco parking pass. When we arrived at my so called bosses house, I told her he was running behind so we should just kill sometime walking across the street at Sunset cliffs. As we were cruising along we stumbled upon a sketch artist who was sketching the cliffs and current sunset. Jackie and I started a casual conversation with him about his work. I could tell Jackie was nervous because she didn't want him to sale her anything. Next the artist mentioned he had a portfolio for her to look through. He also commented that his favorite sketch was on page number five. As she flipped through the portfolio nervously, I stepped back got down on one knee and once she got to page 5, there was a sketch of the exact seen that was about to take place. I proposed.
Back Story:
I had hired Court Jones a professional sketch artist to be an actor, artist and photographer all at the same time. He was brilliant. I sent him a photo of Jackie and I and described how I wanted to get engaged.
Reaction:
Jackie was stunned in fact she was shaking and didn't quite understand what was happening at first.
