"This proposal took some major planning!Writes Save the Date reader Tanya: My sister is studying abroad in London and for months, my parents, brother, and I had been planning to visit her. On November 4, my boyfriend, Luca, saw me off at the airport and told me to be sure I had a cell phone with me on November 9, my birthday, so he could call. Four days later, my family and I traveled to Paris and we spent my birthday sightseeing: Notre Dame, the Lourve, and finally, the Eiffel Tower. After scaling the tower, we took the steps down. When I turned a corner, I stopped in my tracks. There was Luca, smiling, with a birthday card for me. He had traveled all night, flying into London, taking a train to Paris, and then hitching a ride to the Eiffel Tower with a mailman just to be with me on my birthday! I was so shocked by his surprise visit that I figured there was no way he&amp;#x27;d be proposing next. How much surprise can a girl handle on one trip? The next day we all headed back to London. On the train ride back, Luca and I decided we&amp;#x27;d spend the upcoming Saturday doing some sight-seeing, just the two of us. When the day arrived we visited Big Ben and saw a huge fireworks display behind the London Eye. (Luca loves fireworks, so it was quite serendipitous!) We finished our sight-seeing by walking through St. James Park toward Buckingham Palace. Luca suggested we rest on a bench, where he gave me my second birthday card. (His tradition is to give me two!) After I finished reading the incredibly sweet card, Luca started to speak, and before I knew it he was down on one knee. I was so surprised and emotional he had to ask twice before I said yes! To top off our royal engagement, Luca slipped the ring&amp;amp;#8212;with a princess-cut diamond!&amp;amp;#8212;on my finger. Then we went back to the hotel, where my parents had planned a dinner to celebrate our engagement. It was truly picture-perfect! How lovely is that proposal story? Would you just DIE if your boyfriend flew to Europe to propose? Congrats, guys!
