We love a great engagement party disguised as just a birthday party, don’t you? When we read about the planning that went into the proposal, we knew that we wanted to feature Mariah & LeMark’s firefighter marriage proposal story.
Share with us when and how you met each other.
We randomly met in the ER of a hospital. She’s an RN, and I’m a firefighter. One day I was bringing her a patient, and we just couldn’t stop staring and smiling lol
No words were spoken, but everything was understood. When I got back to the fire station that day, I told myself next time, I would say something to her. Being new to the area, I downloaded the dating app Bumble and was looking for a friend. I opened up the app, and there she was on my screen, I immediately swiped left, and we were a MATCH!!
What are your favorite things to do together as a couple?
Playing cards, entertaining guests at the house, the gym…sometimes, listening to her sing, or building parlays for Fanduel.
How long were you together before getting engaged?
3 years
Share your firefighter marriage proposal story…
The surprise engagement party was disguised as my 36 birthday party. Six months prior to the party I began to plan.
It took so much preparation to get all of her close friends and family there and to sneak around so she wouldn’t figure out what was happening.
Long story short, she’s a nurse and I’m a firefighter. We met in the ER of a hospital, so I always knew I wanted to incorporate that into my proposal one day.
So I came up with the idea to not only surprise her with an engagement party but to also pull up in my fire truck lol. So I got my lieutenant to call me while she was around to fake like I had to come into work. So now not only am I not going to be at my own “ Birthday party” I have to go to work.
The engagement party was at a local restaurant where I booked a private room, that was also in my fire station district. So once the party started, Mariah had to tell everyone I was at work (all the guests already knew what was going to happen). So once the party started going I had the general manager fake an evacuation of the building due to “smoke” or gas. Once the alarm went off, I arrived in my fire truck, did my speech, and proposed.
I have the entire video recorded…view our proposal video here!
We really would like to be reposted so the world can see our love and our story. This truly was one great engagement.
What was the best moment of the proposal?
When she finally realized what was going on, her reaction was priceless I will never forget her face
Who did you tell that you were engaged first?
We had 50 people at the engagement. All these individuals were close family and friends.
Tell us about the ring!
I have another story about the ring but I will tell that at a later time. We went to Jared’s, it’s a 1.17 carats size princess cut and platinum band. I knew this was the ring because when she tried it on for the first time her face got a cramp from smiling.
How easy it is to want to stay together forever.
Just the thought of this is only the beginning.
What are you most excited about wedding planning?
To see the ideas we have come to life.
Congratulations Mariah & LeMark on your firefighter marriage proposal!
