Wael: "It was a very exciting day. The night before I wrote my speech to Nina and I felt both so excited and nervous. It helped that we picked out Nina's engagement ring together and we had lived together for over 6 months at this point so I was pretty sure she'd say yes.

I decided to take her to the same place where I first knew that she was the one, at the park from one of our first dates. We brought the blanket we bought together in Costa Rica and I bought some fuchsia roses."

Nina: "Because Wael and I live together, it was very funny watching Wael try to keep the proposal plans from me. Being the planner in the relationship, it was so suspicious when he asked if he could "reserve" that Saturday for something. hmmm.. I wonder what that is ;). He also hid himself in the office for a few hours so I figured something was up.

I had thought a lot beforehand about where I would've taken him if I was proposing. While we both love the beach, I wanted the spot to be meaningful to both of us so I chose the park. How crazy that Wael was thinking the same thing. After he proposed I asked him why he chose the park and he said it was the spot that he first realized I could be the one. I had felt the same way! We had never once spoken about how meaningful that chat was at the park yet it made such a strong impression on both of us. Just shows how much we are in alignment and how similar we are! Couldn't have chosen a better proposal."
