The most appreciated surprises are often the least expected. Pranav and Nikhita went for a morning hike up to Slackers Hill, one of my favorite places in the Bay Area, with its stunning view of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco — but of course, she didn’t suspect the true purpose. I love that they’re both dressed in casual hiking gear, complete with a backpack, hat, and sunglasses, just having a fun hike on a beautiful morning, just like they had done many times in the past. But then, after briefly taking in the panoramic view, Pranav knelt down with the ring he had hidden, and he said the words that would take their relationship to the next stage. Her reaction says it all 🙂

Congrats, P&N! We’re so happy to have been a part of your special hiking proposal moment!

Traveling all the way from Mexico, Miguel managed to keep the ring cleverly hidden away from his girlfriend Viviana until the time had come and they had reached the perfect setting. After taking in the sights and sounds of San Francisco for a day, they hiked up to Slacker Hill to watch the sunset together, and that’s when he popped the question. With this beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay as his witness, Miguel asked Viviana to be his wife, and she of course excitedly agreed. [ read more … ]

Jay did a lot of homework to find the perfect spot to propose to his girlfriend Jessica. He wanted a beautiful view at someplace unique in the Bay Area, not one of the spots that everyone else loves to go for photos. And after narrowing down the list of options, he decided on a Hippie Tree surprise proposal. It’s a quiet, secluded spot up in the hills of Tiburon, featuring its namesake tree with some cute wooden swings hanging off its branches. [ read more … ]
