Portland Rose Garden Marriage Proposal by The Yes Girls

James, a Navy solider, wanted to surprise Stephanie during their trip to Portland with the ultra-romantic marriage proposal she deserved. Being in the military, getting to spend quality time can be limited so he wanted to make sure the proposal would remain a complete surprise. The Rose Gardens was on her list of “must dos” since she LOVES roses, so it was an easy choice! When they arrived at the Portland International Rose Gardens, James made an excuse to duck away for a few minutes. During that time, he got into his military uniform while Stephanie was greeted by a stranger with a map of the gardens directing her to a specific bench. When she arrived, she found three vintage suitcases filled with inside jokes and memorabilia! The final suitcase had a video for her to watch, the video was filled with favorite memories and people in her life which was James cue to come out and ask the final question, “Will you marry me?!”
