 January 9th of 2023 is the day that I proposed to Mariah. I held this box up to her as you saw. And here is the ring. Here's the ring. We are literally fiancés. She is my fiancée right now, guys. What is going on? Life's crazy. Life is insane. We're in Hawaii right now. We're fiancés. We're engaged. We are just on top of the world, I feel like. What is life? Like, life is amazing. Dreaming of this. Well, I have been dreaming of this for so long. And it's just crazy that I was in my dream state. So, it just all came together so good. I know Mariah has so many questions to ask me about this, do you? Oh yeah. So yeah, we're going to do a little story time explaining everything. Because I have a lot of questions for Bill. I have a lot of concerns and... Concerns? Wait, what? No, not concerns, but like, things that I want to know, you know? What are you concerned about? What are some answers? I can't take it back. Because I want to explain the story. I want to tell you guys everything. So, a little background, about six, seven months ago, I came up with the idea that I wanted to get engaged. I want to propose to Mariah. Because, Michelle, after like a year or two of living in our house, we were ready for that next step. Yeah, but you did not expect this to ever happen. She kept pestering me for months and months about like, when are you going to propose? When are you going to do this and that? So, behind her back, the first thing that I needed to do was buy a ring. I had to get the ring before I even thought of where to propose, when to propose, and how to propose. So, I bought and I designed this ring. It was custom made. It took about two months to come in, and it arrived actually when Mariah was in Boston with Julia. Insane. And that's when the ring arrived. So, I did the opening box video. It was super emotional. If you did not see that video, make sure to go watch it. I cried when I opened the ring, because I just knew that it was the perfect ring. I know what Mariah likes. I've been with her for six years. So, every single second of these six years, I've just been making mental notes about everything she likes. This is when my dream rings, I was a little girl. I have a Pinterest board of this exact thing. Give a little up close view of this ring. This ring was the most special part of the engagement. It's got diamonds all up. Because I just wanted you to know how much I love you, how much I appreciate you, which is why I went with this ring, and why I just felt comfortable with giving it to you, because you mean the world to me, and we have our life together. I invested a lot of time, money, and energy into this ring, just to show you how much I do love you. It's beautiful. I absolutely love it. It's a dream. I just hold this whole experience as a dream, honestly. So, fast forward, I started thinking, and all of a sudden one day, it just popped in my head, Hawaii. This girl has been talking nonstop about getting married in Hawaii, about getting engaged, ever since she was a little girl, but she never thought it was gonna happen. Never. So, I'm like, all right, how do I get my girlfriend across the United States, because we live in Florida, across the ocean to her dream state without thinking that I'm gonna propose, because that's the first thing that would have popped in your head? Well, I came up with a great plan to get our manager involved, we do a lot of brand deals, we do a lot of brand partnerships, we love the brands that we work with. So, I came up with the idea that a travel agency company was sponsoring a trip out to Hawaii and was gonna pay for the whole thing, all we have to do. I was out here telling everyone, this is a paid trip, this is the coolest opportunity ever, we're going to Hawaii. I was convinced, like there was so many things, like it was just perfect. I came up with everything, I was texting my manager to text us, and I know if it came from our management, Mariah would 100% believe it. Oh, yeah. So, this company flew us out to Hawaii, Mariah had no idea, and this was months and months of planning, but I'm the one that booked the hotel room, booked the plane tickets, booked the rental car, everything, and then we got sick. So, we were supposed to get engaged December 4th of 2022, but we came down with the flu on the 28th, 29th of November, and I had to cancel the trip. Okay, I literally had to cancel the flights, I had to cancel the hotel, I had to cancel everything. And I called the manager up and I'm like, oh my God, we're sick, like I hope this company will want to work with us next month. Because she still thinks it's a company flying us out. Yeah, and I was so upset, and I felt bad for this company because they did all this work to book and all this stuff, and so I'm like freaking out that we're not going to be able to actually go to Hawaii, which I know we would have ended up booking something. And that's when I texted our management saying, hey, tell Mariah that the company said that they will be able to rebook it, we'll book it sometime in January, and everything's good. Luckily they had got full refund, and they're not doing the sponsorship until March. Yeah, that was a good lot, you guys pulled that off. So I was dead sick, I had 103 degree fever, I'm texting my manager like, just tell her that we'll rebook it. And I had 103 degree fever, like I couldn't even think that day and I was texting her because I was so devoted on keeping this a secret and flying your ass out to Hawaii without you knowing. So fast forward, we got on the plane, first class all the way, Mariah's talking, oh this company must have spent so much money on these seats because they were amazing first class seats. And I'm like, yeah, this company is like awesome, they must really care about us and their clients. And Mariah just thinks everything's the company. I'm delusional, I'm not delusional, doesn't even know anything. I told so many people back at home and just like everything, like this was a paid trip. I had no clue, even though I had a weird feeling that hmm, maybe he will propose here, this is a perfect spot, but at the same time I kept telling myself, it's not gonna happen, don't get your hopes up. So at this point, the only people that knew that I was proposing was her dad, because I asked for his permission as you saw in that video if you did not, make sure to watch it after this video as well because it's super emotional. Her dad even teared up and it made me tear up, it was just such an emotional moment. But her dad knew, my mom knew at this point, my sister's boyfriend's knew, her sister did not know. Sure, twin sister, I was not gonna tell. Which I understood. And because they talk every single day and I know that Megan would not be able to hold a straight face or be able to lie to Mariah as long as like I could, because this is the biggest lie I have ever done. Oh yeah. And a few other people knew here and there. Like Julia and like Anthony. Like her friend Julia and Anthony. But we flew out here, we got our hotel, we started experiencing Hawaii, it was awesome. And I texted our management to tell Mariah that the company is putting on a photo shoot on January 9th at 5 p.m. for the company. It's a company photo shoot that they need to do with us, which is why also they flew us out. Yeah, why? So we're driving to the photo shoot. What was going on in your head? So it's crazy because I have weird six senses. Like when I found out I was going to Hawaii, I was in Jules and Todd's basement, I was talking to Julia and this is when Julia knew. And I was like, I have a feeling Bill might be posting me in Hawaii. And she was like, tribes help me like no, like don't get your hopes up, blah blah blah. So I had six sense then, but I like didn't want to believe it. I was just, I just didn't want to expect anything or get my hopes up. So in the car on the way there, I was texting my twin sister because I'm like Megan, I have a weird feeling that he might be proposing. Then I was like, no, I probably shouldn't be saying that cause I don't want to get my hopes up and I'll be really embarrassed if it's not real. And remember, I forgot to tell you guys, this whole time, the whole two months that Mariah knew about flying to Hawaii, I was doing everything in my power to make this girl believe that there was no possible way I was proposing. I even told Mariah straight up. I said, baby, please don't get upset that I'm not proposing to you in Hawaii. If I would have known a company was going to fly us out, I would have maybe tried to schedule it around this Hawaii trip, but how am I supposed to know? So it really made Mariah think, yeah, there's no way he would be able to rush a proposal when he doesn't even have a ring. He doesn't, cause she didn't know I had a ring. She didn't know I had any of this planned out. So it's just in the back of my head, but like I said, I didn't want to get my hopes up. So when we get to the place, Bill goes, wait in the car. I want to make sure like these people are legit and they're not going to like a scam or anything. I was sitting in the car, whittling my thumbs. Like I still had no idea. I was just nervous to meet this company cause I'm just shy like that. Like I get nervous. But the reason that I had to go out there and meet the videographers that I hired to film the whole proposal is because they had to mic me up. As you heard in our proposal video, I had a mic on. That's why I ran over there. I took a quick video that they were micing me up. Once I saw the spot, I'm like, holy s***. This is actually happening. This is the perfect spot. I literally flipped out of my head. I totally, all my nerves went away. Once I saw the spot, I'm like, dude, this is like, I think beautiful. It's perfect. Mariah is going to love it. And I ran back to the car. I forgot something. So in the car, I was going to film a video of my hand just in case if he did, but I didn't want him to see me doing this. So I didn't film it, but I was going to film a video of my hand being like, I have a feeling my boyfriend is proposing today, but I didn't want to do it because I had a feeling it wasn't going to happen still and I was just nervous. So you want to get your hopes up? Yeah. So the whole time Mariah was like, this would be a perfect spot to propose, but like there's no way he's going to propose. Yeah. So it was like a mixed emotion. So when we're walking toward the place, when I'm already out of the car, he gets me and everything. I grabbed her out of the car. He was in his backpack for a while too and I was still getting a little suspicious, but then we're walking. I saw a big box in his pocket. I didn't have the ring on me when I first left the car. I tried to come back, sit through my bag and act like I was grabbing our camera. Yeah. And really I was grabbing the ring to put in my pocket. And I'm looking. I'm like trying not to let him notice that I'm like literally looking at it and I was like, no, it's probably his wallet. This box is hard to hide. It's a huge box. So when I put this in my pocket, like it literally looks You're putting your front pocket on your back. I didn't have back pockets. If I put it in the back, you would have saw it. I put it in my left pocket. You were on my right and I was right. No, you had it on this pocket. I didn't. That's because they put the voice recorder thing underneath my phone. Oh, so that So you didn't even see this? No. So that was my phone. So in the mic, but the thing it looked big and that's why it kind of looks like your wallet. So you never saw the box? No, I thought it was the box though. Wow. I didn't get that. But I thought it was a wallet. So that's why it was my phone and they put the video recorder for the mic underneath my phone. So that's why you thought it was the box. Oh my gosh. Wow. If I would have thought about that, I would have had to put it on the other side because you didn't even see the other side. No. That's why I was leaning over. Yeah. Because I had the box right here. Oh my gosh. So as we're getting up to the spot, the girl goes, Okay, I need you to close your eyes. The company has a huge surprise for you. We're turning to look. At the marry me sign, I go, wait, wait, wait, wait. Close your eyes. The company has a big, big surprise for you. I'm trying to remember the moment. I'm like, try to remember that feeling of like, whoa, I still believe that the company had a surprise. Like, I still believed that there was a surprise but it's how I'm like, what's going on? He goes, keep him closed. I'm like, Bill, what are you doing? He goes, nothing. They have a surprise. Now by now, everyone on the beach is looking at us because they see that, you know, we're the couple walking up to the marry me sign. One of the videographers has a drone hovering by us that you couldn't even hear. I didn't even know. The waves were so big and loud. You couldn't even hear the drone. So I'm walking up with Mariah. We're holding hands. We're talking. I'm checking. Like make sure to keep your eyes closed. Make sure to keep it closed. We're about 50 feet away from the sign. He goes, did you open my eyes when you said that though? You open your eyes? And I think Mariah thought I said open your eyes. So she did. She went, I just can't work. We haven't seen the proposal video yet. So we haven't seen any of our pictures. I think by now when you're watching this video, we've seen every video and I know it's beautiful, but like we're going off of memory because this was two days ago that had happened. And I'm trying to think like, so I immediately was like, oh, you opened your eyes and I was like, yep, this is for you. This is legit. But I kind of liked that I was able to walk up and compare myself. I think it made it way cuter than if I was at the thing and you walked towards me. So we could have a little time to talk with ourselves. And that's when I broke the news to Mariah that this whole trip was fake. There was no company. There was no partner, any kind photo shoot. It was all me that planned it for the proposal. And even when I was still walking before he set up I thought that was the company filming us and video recording us and all this stuff. But in reality, Bill hired all those people. They weren't a company. There was no such thing. I'm just sitting there like, I'm in shock you guys. I like teared up. But like I couldn't get the emotions out until like after because I was just like, whoa, like what is going on? Is this real? Like it felt like a dream. Like I, it wasn't real. Mariah started crying once we were taking pictures after the proposal because that's when it hit her. Like, oh my God, like this is real. It was actually like happening. And you were so cute. All of it was just a blur. People always see this all the time. Like during their weddings, they can't wait to see their wedding video because they can't remember it because it was so interesting. You're in the moment. It's so exciting and it's nerve wracking that you like everything goes over your head and it's blurry. And I didn't know what to say. I didn't plan on saying anything. I stood up there and I said like I had a conversation with Mariah and I was saying a couple of sentences before I got on my knee. How do you remember what you said? I don't even know what I said. I literally don't even know what I said because it was in the moment and it's exactly my emotions and how I felt in the moment. I know I told you I loved you. I know I told you all these things that I'm sure were beautiful and I got on one knee and I said, will you marry me? And you said yes. Did you pick me up? I remember hugging you. It was such a beautiful moment. The moment of me grabbing you just made me like 10 times happier than I've ever been in my whole life. And it is like gonna make me tear up now because it's just like crazy to think about that like I actually like hold that off. Did everything. Yeah, you did. It's crazy guys. It's so insane. And then if you're an operator. Yeah, it's just crazy. Like it's like I'm just because I'm going back in the moment. Like I can't even remember the moment when I literally like pulled out the ring. I was looking at you and I was just like and I was just started to tear up because it's such an amazing moment. Like it's just like it's beautiful. And I it's everything like I've been planning this for months. You were planning it so you knew in the buildup like you're able to kind of process it more than I was able to process it because I know I shocked on you especially because you thought it was a whole company or deal and it was just me all along. I really did. So to cut the chase, all I have to do is put photos and everything. We come home and there was a firework show on the ocean. Literally the day that I propose. I'm not even kidding. There's fireworks and it's literally the night I proposed. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. One second. The night that you propose, there are fireworks. What in the hell? I really forgot I booked this. No, you didn't. Yeah, I'm kidding. I was going to say what? This literally made our whole engagement 10 times better. Dude, everyone's going crazy here in Hawaii. Let's go. How ironic is that? That that just happened tonight. That just ended the whole night. This was the best night ever. It was the best day. This was the best night of the year. I love you. I love you. For what reason? It was a Monday night at 9 at night. Who was doing a firework show? There weren't even people out. There were like maybe 30 people on the beach and all of a sudden right in front of our hotel. To remind you, if you don't know, our hotel is at the end of all the hotel strips. What are the odds that in front of our hotel right in our ocean view, there is a firework show. Humongous firework show. Mega money. Like they put into that firework show. Like it was just crazy and ironic that it's almost like they knew and it was like just like the icing on the cake. It was just perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better day, a better night and it's just crazy that it's actually real. Once I see the photos and the videos, I get to feel like I get to relive it and I get to actually feel all of the emotions and everything. Like the beach was perfect. And do I know what's crazy? That's not the beach that I wanted to propose at. I'm glad that you picked that though. I wanted to propose at the beach that we took photos at yesterday, but this beach ended up being even better because the one that I wanted to, they don't allow commercial filming there. It was way better. So when we went to this beach, right when I saw it, the sunset, the water, the waves, the rocks that they had there with the fur growing on it was just beautiful. Everything that I've ever pictured, it was 10 times better than I ever could. Oh my God guys, it was so freaking cool. How do you feel about it? Cause I know I'm talking a lot about it. I'm talking a lot about it. No, no, no. I'm just saying just cause I had a lot of like, this was all in my head. I feel like. So like how do you feel like everything? Oh, I'm blessed. I'm thankful. This is the best moment of my life. I've been dreaming of it and the fact that I've dreamed of being here and getting married here one day, even though I was, I'm never actually gonna do that cause I know how hard it is. But it was just the thought since I was a little girl and it actually happened and it wasn't a company. I feel like we've been waiting for this moment. Well, I've been waiting for this moment for so long and I felt like it was never gonna happen and it finally happened. It's insane. It's literally a blessing that everything went good. Even though we literally went through the one of the hardest like or I went through the one of the hardest months of the year with having to reschedule everything and basically booked the trip twice. Like it ended up being the perfect. Let me say this. He told me I had a Christmas gift. He told me I had multiple birthday gifts. I totally forgot so. He told me I got a Louis purse for Christmas. I was supposed to propose on December 4th. So I wasn't gonna get her anything for Christmas or for her birthday because I did spend a really good amount of money on this and I put so much time and effort that I didn't have any time and effort to put into like Christmas gifts and birthday gifts because this was all gonna be like bundled into one. It was gonna be just an amazing December birthday Christmas New Year's gift and when I got sick everything that I ever thought was just like oh my God. Now Mariah thinks that I don't have anything for Christmas for her. She's gonna think that I didn't get anything for her birthday and she's not even gonna know that I had a freaking proposal plan. Yeah, I know. And I was really sad though on Christmas Day because I felt like he didn't. It was like it was stupid. I know gifts don't matter but they don't but I wish I got like you know what I mean. Come on if your loved one that you've been with for six years didn't get you even a card or a flower. Wouldn't you think that they didn't love you or they didn't like appreciate you after you getting me so much love? So that's why if you look back on our Christmas videos I said that my gift was delayed and I wish it was here today. There was no gift. There was no gift. That gift that I got her was all fake and I said it was delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed all the way up until Monday when I proposed. Is this necklace like the amount of money you said it was? Okay, so I ran to a jeweler and I got her this necklace on her birthday just so I can have something for her birthday. So she really doesn't think that I forgot about her. And that necklace is legit. Yeah, it's legit. It's not fake. It's not a gumball. He was lying the whole trip. He was lying the whole month. So I didn't know facts. I didn't know what was going on. Literally like that necklace is not a gumball necklace. I really like I would have gotten something for you like that even if I wouldn't propose but I just I had to get something to get your mind off of me for getting Christmas and think that I forgot your birthday because I didn't. Guys, this is just a dream and I hope you guys are enjoying all of our videos and there is so much more to come as Beyonce. I told you guys we have huge things planned for 2023 and whether that was to get proposed in December or January either way the new year is already starting off crazy. Let me just show you the view really quick. This is what we've been looking at the past couple days in Hawaii. It's absolutely a dream come true. Such a beautiful amazing view amazing state with my amazing fiance. It's so weird to say. It was so weird. It's crazy. Now we got to plan a wedding. I know. Oh my gosh. Mom's brought. Stay tuned. Oh, so much content. It's going to be crazy. And then we also have to plan where we're going for our honeymoon. Oh, yeah. Because we've already been to Hawaii. Did we come back here? Honestly, I wouldn't hate coming back here. I wouldn't hate going to Hawaii. Because then we can see where I proposed again but we get to Island Hop. We can go to different islands if we want. We can see where I proposed again. You know, we can go to Maui. We can go to Kauai or whatever. We'll definitely figure it out because I also really want to go to Bora Bora. Bora Bora, yeah. There's like different places so we're going to figure that out. Where should we take our honeymoon? Because we need to start a honeymoon fund right now. We need to start saving up. I want to go explore something else since we've already been to Hawaii. I want to go somewhere else, you know? For our honeymoon. I totally agree. We're so tropical now. I want to see more of the world now. After seeing Hawaii, it makes me so confident that we can go anywhere. And see the clear blue ocean. Oh my God, the ocean. I can't wait to go swimming in it.
