1. Bobby Black & April Price
Location: The canals of Amsterdam, Netherlands

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.

2. Brad Stevens & Summer Herrick
Location: Cabazon, California
Date: December 2008

Summer & Brad

Brad writes:
The first conversation I had with my fiancé Summer centered on Pee-Wee Herman – namely, our fond memories of the movie “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.” Normally, I am a never-ending fount of cynicism, but right then and there I knew – after trading bits of movie dialogue with this beautiful, sweet, and funny girl – that I had met the woman I was going to marry. Say it with me now: “Awwwww.”

In the film, Pee-Wee pursues his beloved bicycle across the country, making a stopover near a pair of concrete dinosaur statues. These weren’t mere props; the dinosaurs were originally built to lure motorists to a roadside diner, and they’re still there, although now the unlikely centerpiece to a creationism museum.

Undaunted by the fact that Pee-Wee’s dinosaurs had been co-opted by anti-evolution kooks (and also undeterred that Dinny the Dinosaur and Mr. Rex now overlook a lovely Burger King parking lot), I chose this spot to propose to Summer. I was nervous enough to mess up my only line, sputtering, “I’m going to ask you to marry… you… now.” Summer smiled through happy tears and said yes – she has always known what I’ve meant, even when I can’t quite nail the phrasing.

There may be no basement at the Alamo, but you can have two concrete dinosaurs witness your marriage proposal. And you can turn a fast food parking lot into the most romantic spot on Earth. I will be forever in your debt, Mr. Herman.

3. Laura Clontz & Wesley Hargrove
Location: Santa Barbara, CA
Date: November 25, 2009

Wesley & Laura

Laura writes:
Wesley and I have known of each other since elementary school. He was in love with my best friend in fifth grade.

We “went out” in eighth grade for a month or so. Different middle schools was so rough, and it didn’t last. In high school, we became great friends and started dating again sophomore year. When it was time for college, I stayed in our hometown, and he went off to Santa Barbara, California, where he’s been most of the year for the last four years. Even with the long distance, we knew that we were perfect. In total, we will have been together for six years this March.

In November, I came to visit from Texas for Thanksgiving and Wesley’s birthday. He took me to a beach that we often visited during the summer we lived in Santa Barbara, with cliffs overlooking the beach and the ocean. It was sunset, which is our favorite time of day. As we sat and talked on the cliffs, Wesley said he wanted to go down to the beach. We both stood up, but instead of walking down the cliffs, he knelt down, took the ring out of his pocket, and asked me to marry him.

I said yes, and he told me that the people behind us with cameras were his friends taking pictures of us, so we now have pictures from the actual proposal! We spent the rest of the night on the phone with family and friends!

We’re now planning our marriage on October 23, 2010 here in Texas. And even though we’re still 1600+ miles apart, we know that there is nothing else that we would rather be doing. This is love.

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