Wedding proposal in Mallorca.
This season has been amazing when it comes to proposals. I am living very romantic stories and meeting many couples who love each other very much. In this post I want to introduce you to Mathew and Emily. They live in Chicago and have known each other for 10 years. He contacted me because he wanted to organise a wedding proposal in Mallorca, and I thought it was a great idea.

We had several conversations where he told me exactly how he wanted everything to go. It was going to be a surprise proposal for his girlfriend Emily, but he told me that she was sure to sense something. Smart girl. That’s why, and much more, he’s marrying her. They were going to Barcelona beforehand because they are big fans of electronic music, so they spent a few days at Sónar Barcelona giving it their all before coming to the beautiful island.
We prepared the day, the time, the details, and Mallorca was coloured gold that afternoon. The sun, about to plunge over the horizon, painted the cliffs with shades of fire. The air carried the smell of salt and promise. For anyone, it was a perfect sunset. For Mathew and Emily, it was so much more: it was the exact moment when everything would change. It was their wedding proposal in Mallorca.

They had been together for ten years. Ten years of laughter, arguments over silly things, dinners, unexpected trips. Two years living together in a duplex flat in Chicago, sharing the cold of winters and the warmth of important decisions. Both Korean-American. Home was no longer a place: it was being together.
That day, Mathew and I had it all planned. Nothing improvised, but everything had to look casual. We started with a photo shoot in one of the most beautiful villages in Mallorca. Stone streets, flowers climbing on balconies, the quiet rhythm of a village that seemed to have stopped in time. Emily didn’t suspect anything, or maybe she did. She smiled naturally, unaware that each click of the camera was part of a larger memory that was not yet complete.

Then they walked leisurely to a café. They shared a glass of cava, or two. Mathew watched her carefully, the sparkle in her eyes as she laughed, as if he was discovering her for the first time. And also for the last time, before taking the leap towards this wedding proposal in Mallorca.
She didn’t know that in his backpack, wrapped in a T-shirt, slept a small white case.
As the sun began to set, we said we wanted to show her a special place where we could continue the photo session. They walked together, as so often, but Mathew was counting the steps in his head. The cliff had no name, but it was the perfect setting. An open view, no railings, no people. Just the sea below, the sky above, and the two of them in the middle. He knelt down.

The silence was total. Only the murmur of the sea, distant and constant, and a playlist chosen by him. Emily froze. Not because she had ever imagined it in some corner of her mind, but because, in that second, she understood that what they were living was real.
Mathew opened the case. The ring glittered for a moment, but neither the stone nor the gold mattered. It was his voice that spoke. He could not be heard. It was a private moment, we were privileged witnesses only.
Emily’s eyes filled with tears, and then she began to laugh through her sobs, as if all the love inside her had suddenly exploded. She bent down in front of him, hugged him so tightly that they both almost fell to the ground. And then, in his ear, she said the only thing that was needed:
Yes.

The sun, just at that moment, was going down towards the sea. As if it had been waiting for the answer to go away quietly. The sky was tinged with pink and violet in this wedding proposal in Mallorca. And on that cliff, the two remained in each other’s arms, happy, without needing to say anything else.
We left them toasting and enjoying the picnic.
On the way back we asked him: “How long have you been planning this?
Mathew laughed.
For years. But only now did I dare to do it.
And she took him by the hand and answered:
Then it was worth waiting for.
Mallorca, that day, was not just an island on the map. It was the place where two long roads, shared for a decade, found a new beginning. One that begins as great chapters should begin: with a promise and a sunset.
