The most romantic wedding proposal stories do not have to be planned

This is proven true with Jill and Mark Cruz’s wedding engagement. One sunny Saturday morning, they planned a trip to cross the border from Canada to US to do some shopping. Along the way, they run out of petrol and ended up in Niagara Falls.
Amidst that beautiful setting, Mark Cruz asked Jill to marry him. Totally unplanned they say but the moment was perfect and he had the ring with him.
Awwww!
Here’s Jill’s version of the story:
It was so beautiful.
On that platform with the falls in front of us, Mark leaned in towards me and whispered into my ear.
“I have a secret” he says.
“What is it?” I asked him.
“Will you marry me?”
“You know I’ll marry you” I said. To be honest, I thought he was just joking around.
But he went into his pocket and pulled out a ring and placed it onto my finger. The most beautiful ring I have ever seen in my life. I started to cry. I was actually sobbing. After six years of ups and downs, trials, happiness, a beautiful baby boy… we were there, at that moment, together and making a promise to be together for the rest of our lives. It was the happiest moment in my entire life. I couldn’t imagine a better moment for that to happen… and it’s amazing how none of it was planned. We never planned to end up in Niagara Falls. He never intended to ask me that day, he was actually saving it for another time. But the ring was in his car and everything felt perfect, so he put it in his pocket and brought it with him for our day.
The most pefect, most meaningful day… I am so happy. Every day since then we’ve been so excited, talking about our wedding and what we’re going to do, and how lucky we are to have each other. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man. So happy that our family is going to be complete.
I love him with all my heart, he is doing so much to make me happy and show me he loves me and oh MAN I feel like the luckiest woman in the world that he asked me to be his wife.
WE’RE ENGAGED!!!!
