Ben chose Poros for the big question, and from the very beginning we knew it had to feel effortless, natural, and completely unexpected. Together, we planned every detail quietly and carefully—timing, little cues, and the perfect spot high above the island where the view opens up in the most breathtaking way. While they were simply enjoying their Greek-island days after traveling all the way from the US, everything was being set in motion behind the scenes, so his girlfriend wouldn’t suspect a thing. It was the kind of plan that only works when it’s built around love, patience, and a little bit of magic.

When they reached that viewpoint and Poros stretched out below them—blue water, soft light, and the island glowing like a postcard—Ben took a breath, turned to her, and the whole world paused. The surprise was pure and honest, the kind that brings hands to faces, happy tears, and that split second of disbelief before joy takes over. And then, with the Aegean sparkling beneath them, he asked the question he’d carried all the way to Greece… and Poros became part of their story forever.
