ENTRY #1

We actually met online on POF lol. When he proposed I was really sick (i had a lot of complications when I was pregnant and after I had our son). So while I was resting in bed he asked me to marry him. :) Then on our trip to Disney for Christmas he asked me all over again. (he thought I deserved a better proposal in our fav place to go!

Coral Dimaggio

We met at the end of march of 2011 in a new restaurant that opened up called sweet tomatoes. He was a cook and i was a cashier. we would always look over at each other but never spoke just smiled. then on April 10,2011 i went to work but they sent me home because they didint need more people so that day before i left i walked up to him and asked him for his number. We began talking day and night non stop then on April 13, 2011 we began dating. Not minding our age diffefrence of 7 yrs. (Hes 26 and 19) and not mindidng all the stuff that went on in our past. hes divorced with a kid. Then i had moved in with him but he went into the hospital and i was with him day and night for the whole month of may until he came out. i never left his side. we decided to both move into my parents house where they accepted him like a son. and on June 25 we found out we were pregnant. On October 7th i decided to take him to Marco Island where my parents own a condo so that we could celebrate his bday and the night we got there we had dinner at a delicious italian restaurante, then out of no where he asked if we could go to the beach at like almost 8pm so we did. when we went there it was perfect the lady fish were all jumping out of the water like crazy. i was taking pictures when he got behind me and said look take pictures of the fish then he said turn around and take a picture of this when i turned around he was down on one knee with a beautiful ring. and he asked me if i would marry him. and i said yes we both cried but were very happy. we might of moved a little too fast but its all working out and we are still happily in love.

ENTRY #4

Haleigh Eacho

Grayson met Haleigh their first sememster of college in 2007, when they both worked at Best buy. After spending 6 hours talking in the parking lot after work on black friday that year, they became inseparable. 2 years later, Grayson decided to join the airforce to better his future and future withHaleigh. After signing, Graysons Dad had passed away and he was asked by his recruiter if this is still something he wanted to do. Grayson wanted to make his family proud, so they sent him on his way September 28, 2010 to Basic Training. Grayson and Haleigh almost spent a year apartbecause of training, but she traveled back and forth from Florida to Texas and Florida to Mississippi
many times. Grayson graduated from his tech school and came home to pack up the U haul and Haleigh in July 2011. They were now moving to his first duty station at Tinker Air Force Base inOklahoma city, Oklahoma. Creeping up to their 4 year mark together, Grayson has decided it was time to pop the question. On 11-11-11 Grayson and Haleigh went out to dinner for veterans day. When they got home Grayson got on one knee at 11:11 pm and asked Haleigh to marry him. SHE SAID YES!! and now they are planning their special day on May 20, 2012 in Ocala, Florida while she and Grayson are living in Oklahoma. The picture we chose is one that means alot to us.
It is the first time seeing each other after Basic Training in San Antonio, Texas.  

ENTRY #5

Dianna Paglia

Mark and I met in 2009 at a local dance studio where we were, and still are, both instructors at. On Dec. 24, 2011, he proposed...in front of my huge Italian family I might add. It was the most romantic speech I've heard. And, let me tell you, it definitely took some guts to propose in front of my family. ;0)  He means the world to me and it would so wonderful to have photos taken of us to announce our engagement. 

Thanks so much to our contestants for their entries.  Remember votes will be taken until January 15th:)  Have fun!! All my best, Kristina
