After only dating for a few months, he knew that she was the one and that he wanted to marry her in the future. Three years into the relationship, Carlie walked home from work and saw tons of memorabilia from every date that they had been on, and there was Thomas at the end of the walkway on one knee to pop the question.

Jacob and Kiri took a trip to the Grand Canyon, where Jacob originally planned to propose. But as we all know, pre-planned things can take a turn at any minute. On their little trip up to the snow for the weekend, he started to panic about where to hide the ring box and how exactly he would propose. This was Jacob’s first trip to the Big Canyon, and he couldn’t decide how to go about it with his proposal, so there were some last-minute changes in his plans. They went back home.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg src=\"https://uploadmediastorage.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/friendlydiamonds/blogstaticimg/usa/real-life-engagement-stories/image_2.jpg\" alt=\"Jacob & Kiri \" width=\"1152\" height=\"920\">\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca style=\"display: inline-block; font-size: 14px; padding: 8px 18px; color: #000; border: 1px solid #000; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 600; width: 100%; text-align: center;\" href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/ring-settings/14kt-white-gold-tiara-three-stone-diamond-ring-afdre7600-3837\">SHOP \u003Cstrong id=\"docs-internal-guid-a9c5f6b1-7fff-ed6b-2ed9-6b1c5e02949d\">Jacob’s Pick for Kiri\u003C/strong>\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">Once they got home after their day outing, Kiri went out to get some firewood, and when she got back, she saw a note that said, \u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/testimonials/jacob-kiri\">“Kiri Stand here.”\u003C/a> She nonchalantly thought that Jacob was playing a prank like ‘silly string’ or something similar. But to her surprise, he propped up his phone and started recording all her reactions. Jacob then came down the stairs, got down on one knee, and asked Kiri to be his wife in their first home together. The moment turned out to be one of the favorite and most amazing ones of their lives. It was the easiest decision Kiri ever had to make. \u003C/p>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">They loved their Friendly Diamonds ring and found that it was perfect for them.\u003C/p>\r\n\u003Ch2>Love was Always Around the Corner: Fulton & Caroline\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cp dir=\"ltr\">\u003Ca href=\"https://friendlydiamonds.com/testimonials/fulton-caroline\">Fulton and Caroline \u003C/a>have one of those real-life engagement stories where you've known someone all your life but never hung out with them one-on-one.
