Daisy & Alfonso's Monterey Beach Proposal


Some proposals are quiet, and some are a full production, this one was the latter, and it was incredible. Alfonso planned a surprise proposal on a Monterey beach at sunset: a red carpet leading down the sand to a heart-shaped arch of red roses, petals scattered everywhere, and a glowing "Marry Me" sign waiting at the end. He even arranged live musicians playing guitar as Daisy walked toward the arch, the moment she realized what was happening, everything stopped. Family and friends stood in a line along the beach watching it unfold, and when Alfonso got down on one knee, the cheering started before she could even answer.
