THE STORY
THE STORY
After 24 years of marriage and 3 kids, Andrew wanted to surprise his wife, Cretia, with a surprise re-proposal. When they got married, they were young and he wasn’t able to give her the dream proposal that she deserved. This time around, Andrew was determined to make it unforgettable.
THE PLAN
Cretia loves the beaches and anywhere tropical, so we created a tropical oasis dedicated to her. A stunning backdrop was dressed with birds of paradise and palm leaves, alongside a quote reading “Home Is Wherever You Are”. After living in numerous countries around the world, Andrew believed that no matter where they are, home is whenever Cretia was by his side.
When Cretia and Andrew arrived for dinner, the host led them to the back patio. The entrance greeted her with a pathway of pictures hand-drawn by Andrew, where each hanging card depicted his favourite memories with her. Upon entry, a string trio began playing their favourite songs, accompanied by rose petals and café lights leading the way. With tears streaming down Cretia’s face, Andrew dropped down to his knee for a very magical, “YES”.
THE EXPERIENCE
The proposal was magical; it was so perfect and extremely tailored to my ideas.``
“This was an amazing experience. After 24 years of marriage, I was finally able to give the love of my life the proposal and ring that I promised when we were young. The team was invisible and it felt so private. I couldn’t have imagined doing this without them. No, it would be impossible! Thank you Luxe Proposals!” – Andrew R.
