Here's a small selection of some of the Villa's couples engagement stories.

| Julien and Vanessa |
The week of our engagement Julien had the idea that he wanted us to have a 2-day date. The first day, I would be picking the agenda and taking him out an an all day date. I chose for us to go miniature golfing, bowling, and to go out to lunch. On the second day, it was his turn to take me out. We layed out at the beach, went to K1 speedway, and then he wanted to go down to our favorite spot at the beach and he said we would walk around and then go have a nice dinner. So we went home and got all showered and ready to go out, we arrived down at balboa beach right as the sun was getting ready to set. Julien had brought a blanket since it was getting chilly. He layed behind me and was holding me in his arms on the sand right above the water, as he starting to tell me how much I meant to him. The water was twinkling like diamonds as the sun had just set. As the moon lit up the night he pulled out a ring and asked me to be his wife!! It was so overwhelming all I could think to do was grab him and kiss him; a few seconds later he clarified if I had said yes or no (ha ha) since all I could do was kiss him. I laughed and said yes and he put my ring on my finger. It was very romantic!!! We concluded our date night at Ruth's Chris restaurant for dinner and went out with our friends to our favorite bar The Canyon Inn. At the bar they knew us very well since we went there every Tuesday night and the DJ even gave us a shout out saying that Julien and Vanessa were now engaged.

Brea and Colin
We had just gotten back from a Golden family trip to Panama and were
still resting before going out with our friends for New Year's Eve.
Colin told Brea to be ready by 6pm, even though dinner reservations were
not until 8pm. We drove to the restaurant and parked the car then
started walking towards a trendy bar near by. After having a couple of
drinks together we started back towards the restaurant where 12 of our
friends were waiting for us. As we were walking, Colin became very
complimentary telling Brea how much he loved her and giving her sweet
kisses between sentences. Colin stopped walking and looked Brea in her
eyes as he asked her if she would make him the happiest man in the
world. He then proceeded to get down on one knee and asked her if she
would marry him! The proposal was perfect - intimate and unexpected and
at that moment the whole world stopped around us. Of course Brea said
yes and minutes later we were surrounded by all of our friends and were
able to celebrate with them.
Villa de Amore is located close to Orange County and San Diego in Temecula, Southern California

Stacey and Justin
I got the BEST proposal. Justin popped the question on Christmas Eve
2011 when we went to visit my parents in Sanger, TX for the holiday (his
first time). Little did I know, he and my best friend Katie had been
plotting the proposal via email and Facebook while he was still deployed
in Afghanistan. I was completely clueless that he was transporting the
ring with us from California to Texas even when he told me to go to a
different security line to "race" through (I didn't think anything of it
because it sounded like something we would do). When we reached my
hometown he asked if I could take him around the neighborhood and to the
lake to just "mosy" around. That sounded great to me especially because
it had stopped raining. It got dark by the time we drove the golfcart
down to the lake and we pulled up to a lit up tree, decorated with
ornaments and tealights illuminating a path to it. He asked if people
usually decorate the trees and I said no, but that it's been about a
year and a half since I'd been home so maybe some new neighbor had. He
said let's go take a look at what's underneath it. There was a medium
sized box on top of a bigger box wrapped like presents. He told me to
open the medium sized box...I told him that I didn't want to open
someone else's stuff. When he told me to open it again I FINALLY started
to clue in on what was going on. When I opened the box it was a
BEAUTIFUL, sparkling Solitaire diamond tied to a ribbon to the box and
he was on one knee asking me to marry him. Through tears I said yes of
course! I put that ring on my finger without even disconnecting the
ribbon and box ;) In the bigger box, Katie and her family had put a
miniature sized bottle of champagne and two glasses (which was a
surprise to Justin as well). We celebrated just the two of us with our
champagne and then drove back to celebrate with the rest of the family.
Everyone knew, but my mom. Needless to say she went pretty catatonic
staring at the ring on my finger. The rest of the holiday weekend was
perfect. Even though the tree was barren from the winter (without the
lights and ornaments) it'll always be my favorite tree <3 div="" nbsp="">
