Best Proposal Ever - Machu Picchu Surprise

Our proposal story began 6-months ago. Mike began building the framework, looking for diamonds, and planning the proposal. He knew Vanessa's picture perfect proposal would involve surprise and every moment captured on video. To avoid suspicion, he told her that he was looking into becoming a diamond trader, he also told her that he was searching for a great location to shoot a commercial for his business, among other white lies.
Last October, they went on a little vacation to Peru. In Vanessa's eyes, the trip was to introduce him to some of her friends and family. In his eyes, it was the beginning of their new journey together.
One week before the trip, and after months of preparation, several hours on Pinterest, and diligent diamond research, Mike had Vanessa's dream ring made. The only person who knew about the plan was Stephanie, Vanessa's younger sister.
To continue with the plan, a few days before their flight, Mike asked Vanessa's mom to come over to his house and help him make a surprise video for his girlfriend of 3 years.
Instead, when Vanessa's mom arrived, he asked her for her blessing to ask her oldest daughter's hand in marriage. They hugged, cried, laughed, and she shared her wisdom on relationships. This conversation was captured and used as a key part of the proposal.
Days later, once in Peru and after spending four beautiful days in Lima, meeting family & friends, trying new foods, and seeing the sights, Vanessa and Mike took a quick flight to Cusco to explore some of Peru's landmarks. After arriving and acclimating to the elevation, exploring the culture, history, and views of the ancient city, they started their journey to Machu Picchu. The plan was to visit the beautiful historic center early the following morning, and be among the first ones to arrive, which meant an early 2:00am wake up call.
As they arrived, they were amazed by the beauty of the majestic city. They made it to the first viewing point, where Mike encouraged Vanessa to push on and make it to an even higher spot. It wasn't easy, the altitude was slowing them down, and they were carrying heavy camera equipment up the hand carved stairs. They climbed higher and higher to get to the "perfect spot to shoot the commercial" Mike had been talking about for the last few months.
After setting up the cameras, the ideal moment arrived. That's when Mike handed Vanessa an iPad to watch what he said was a short demo and script of what he was envisioning for his business' video. Instead, she was shocked when she realized the demo was not quite what she thought. It was the short movie he had created just days before where her mom gave her blessing. Needless to say, she broke into tears as both their families approved of their new journey together.
In tears of joy she said "Yes!"
Mike and Vanessa are now planning a destination wedding between both their hometowns (his, Los Angles, CA; and hers, Lima, Peru) so their closest friends and relatives can share in their celebration.
If you enjoyed sharing this special moment with us, and want to continue being a part of our journey, please help us make this wedding possible. No contribution is too small, quite the opposite. We thank you in advance for sharing our moment, praying for us, our relationship, and making this the happiest day as we become husband and wife. TheWylieWedding.com

[@kiaraalmendradelgadogonzal8342]

Definitivamente ella es tan afortunada de tener un esposo así ... Los detalles hablan por si solos. Me hizo llorar de alegria, hombres con esos detalles hay pocos en el mundo. Cuando el amor es sincero todo es posible. Me siento tan feliz de ser peruana jijij🙌😊😊😊😊

[@chely452]

I totally cried! He reminded me so much of my boyfriend. When he explained his reasoning behind why it took so long is something my bf would definitely say! Not to mention the similarity in being an interracial couple. I'm Mexican and he's Irish/German. Seeing that video of her family members really captured how much he respects her love for her family. He did amazing! Congrats to the both of you.

[@itsbeckyanne]

This is so perfect! A proposal at Machu Picchu?! My dream!!

[@biancar.4544]

I always thought that I'm gonna be so embarrassed one day when I get engaged because I'm not gonna cry. I don't cry easily. But this just made me bawl lol. I think I just may end up crying when it happens for me too. Beautiful!

[@MaddieStark]

...Well I cried my eyes out. That was so adorable.

Its maybe a few years old but that was a beautiful proposal. No flash mobs, public humiliation etc, just two people who love each other. And it's nice to see a happy tear. Thank you for sharing. Hope life is good

[@InaFlaviaS]

This brought me into tears. So so lovely!! God bless you two!

[@caitymaeecutie74]

This is so beautiful! I'm bawling... Congratulations to the both of you, and I hope your marriage is all you've ever wanted it to be! Simply breathtaking.♡

[@misskpyle6885]

WOW! This is one of the best proposals I have ever heard of. A lot of planning went into it. To take her all the way to Peru to propose is quite something! I liked the part where you included you telling her mother why you want to marry the daughter. And also that you got the approval of her family on video as well; we could tell her family is important to her. And then the great cover up about being a diamond trader, and making a commercial.... Very well thought out. What you said to her was touching and made me tear up. We can see from this proposal story that you're a planner, but to acknowledge that you don't have to have it all figured out because you have her... awwww. I especially enjoyed this proposal story because I lived in Lima and travelled around Peru quite a bit. It was nice seeing some of my favorite Peru memories, sites, and experiences being enjoyed by someone else.

[@epicsergio7877]

U have propossed it in one of the wonderfully places in the world congratulations they're just 7 in all the world..

So happy for you Vanessa! Mike is a very lucky guy. Blessings on your journey together, wherever life may take you.

[@bigben5056]

This is the first marriage proposal video that I've ever watched where I felt my heart beat and choke in anticipation. I'm so happy that there is still love in this world and this gives me hope. Machu Picchu is my dream place to go! A proposal there would be like heaven sent❤️😇 Congratulations so much. I pray one day God will bless me. Thank you so much for hope and the tears👍🏽
