Jeremy & Jaime


Jeremy writes:

Jaime, and I are students, living in Thunder Bay, ON, Canada. We’ve been together for almost two years now, and have lived together the whole time. In October, my great-grandmother passed away, leaving me feeling like life was short. Since I love Jaime and was planning on proposing soon anyway, I decided to go out and get a ring. Once the ring was in my coat pocket, I knew I couldn’t wait.

Three days later, during the four-hour drive home for the funeral, we stopped at Kekabeka falls; a local falls just outside Thunder Bay. My excuse was that I needed to take some pictures for my photography class, which was partially true. We walked around the falls a while taking some pics, and it was the first beautiful, sunny day in a long stretch of rainy days – this is how I knew that today was the day.

I asked her to pose for a picture, leaning on the rail looking towards the falls with her back to me. I didn’t even take the picture but when I told her I was done, she turned around and I was on one knee with the ring box open in my hand. She didn’t even let me stand up to put the ring on! She was so excited that she immediately dropped to her knees to give me a hug and kiss, nearly knocking the ring out of her hand.

Today, we are happier than ever. We hope to graduate and begin working in three years time, and then we will have our wonderful wedding. The date we have just chosen is August 23, 2013 – which will be our 5 and a half year anniversary. I love my wife-to-be, and we plan on having a great, long, life together.

2. Jonathan Stahl & Amy Stewart
Location: Paris, France
Date: August, 2007

Amy & Jonathan

Amy & Jonathan

Jonathan writes:
It was the summer after college graduation and Amy (my then-girlfriend soon-to-be-fiancé now-wife) and I were on vacation in Paris, where we stayed at my uncle’s lavish apartment. She had chosen the ring several months prior and I had brought it with us on the trip.

She knew it was coming, but the question was when. As she tells it, she intentionally left the room for 10 minutes to give me time to hide it somewhere she wouldn’t see it until it was time to propose.

It happened in the Jarins de Luxembourg (Luxembourg Gardens). I told her to look at a statue or something, and when she turned back around I was on one knee with the ring. I told her that I hadn’t prepared any Earth-shatteringly romantic statement, and that I knew she loved shiny things, so I’d let the shininess of the ring speak for itself.

We then did it in the middle of the park, surrounded by onlookers. It’s all true (except maybe for that last part). You can ask Amy!

3.Bobby Black & April Price
Location: The canals of Amsterdam, Netherlands
Date: Friday, November 27, 2009

 

April & Bobby

April & Bobby

Bobby writes:
Each November, my company HIGH TIMES hosts The Cannabis Cup—the world’s biggest marijuana festival in Amsterdam. It was here, on Thanksgiving Day 2006, that I met the love of my life, April Price.

Since she was from Phoenix and I from New York, we spent the next year flying across the country to see each other—often at other pot-themed events. In August 2007, we embarked on a two-week desert odyssey—camping in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, a week at Burning Man, and a hot-tub weekend in Vegas. By the end of the trip, I knew she was my soul mate and asked her to move in with me. In May 2008, she packed up her belongings and we drove cross-country together. She’s been with me ever since.

This November, we returned to Amsterdam for our fourth Cannabis Cup together. It was there, on a candlelight canal cruise in the City of Diamonds, that I dropped to my knee and asked her to be my wife. Tearfully, she replied, “I would be honored!” After the cruise, I brought her to our favorite pot-friendly bar Barney’s Uptown, where our friends were waiting to toast us with weed, hashish, and champagne.

Now that you’ve read the stories, it’s your turn to weigh in. The winning couple will be revealed Friday.
