Everyone has their own special romantic location in life: somewhere where you can remember how special it was when you fell in love there.
Some couples have a favorite restaurant or bar, or a park, or maybe a beautiful view from across a lake or the peak of a hill: all ideal locales in which you could get down on one knee, take out a gold ring, and ask your partner to marry you.

But this week, a gay couple have gone on an engagement photoshoot somewhere that was particularly special to them: Target. Yes, the lovers grabbed and trolly and kissed in the aisles for their Target-themed engagement photos, which have picked up a lot of attention on social media.

Aaron Damron and his fiancé Tony DiPasqua, who hail from the state of Pennsylvania, have decided to finally tie the knot together. To that end, they hired photographer Erica Whiting and took to their local branch of Target to have their pictures taken.

In an interview with Inside Edition on the subject of their engagement photos, Damron stated: "We always gravitated to Target and would just go to cruise the aisles while sipping on an iced coffee. We associate Target with a lot of our first and best memories together. We just always feel at home."
This married couple was shocked to discover that a videographer had edited muppets into their wedding video:

He added: "Being comfortable with your photographer is what we think made this what it is. So just be you and make sure you’re comfortable with your photographer."

A woman has been filmed marching into Target in a wedding dress and demanding that her fiancé marry her there and then.
This happened two years after the couple got engaged, and she said in footage of the incident that she was tired of waiting.
Watch the angry bride demand an on-the-spot wedding below:

"You put this ring on my finger two years ago and it’s time to do it or get out," the angry bride told her fiancé while he was in the process of restocking shelves.
"We're getting married right now, or I am leaving. I'm out," she continued. "I'm done if you don't marry me this second."
The angry woman had not only turned up to the store in a wedding dress, but she had gone to the effort of bringing a bridesmaid and a pastor with her too.
However, instead of agreeing to the on-the-spot marriage or responding in any way to the bride, the man simply remains quiet as she rants at him.
The bride then addressed the group of shocked onlookers, who had stopped what they were doing to watch the commotion.
Watch the second part of Ashley's footage below:

One of these onlookers included TikTok user Ashley, who later uploaded the footage to the video-sharing platform.
"Hi guys, I'm just finally making him commit," the bride said to a group of onlookers. "You know, like were getting married now, or like it's over."
In the footage of the incident, Ashley can be heard saying "woo-hoo" as the bizarre event continues to unfold.
After addressing the shoppers, the bride's attention falls back on her fiancé, and he asks if they "talk about it" to which she responds, "Yes, we can talk about this outside."
It's at this point that the bride looks into Ashley's camera before she goes outside with her fiancé, and laughs as she says: "I'm shaking."
"Could someone have told me about it?" the woman's fiancé questions.
"The best part of my week watching this woman hunt her man down that works at Target," Ashley captioned the videos, adding the hashtag of "bridezilla".
As per News.com.au, shocked social media users had a lot to say about the video.
"No way … this has to be a prank, right?!?!" one person asked.
"If she does this, imagine what else she’d do! I sure hope he didn’t marry her,” another person added.
Meanwhile a third wrote: "It's her friend not telling her its a bad idea for me,” a third person wrote.

A heartwarming video has gone viral on social media this week, which shows two gay men who hail from Brazil proposing to each other at the exact same time.
According to The Daily Mail, the incident occurred last week in front of a Ferris wheel ride and was recorded on camera by a nearby bystander.
The video shows one of the men pulling out an engagement ring box, before kneeling in front of his beloved to ask him to marry him. The other man appears touched and rendered speechless before he goes over to his own backpack.
Take a look at the touching double-proposal in the video below:
[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/DGtfvbqE-izxriqNH.mp4||DGtfvbqE]]
He can then be seen drawing a box of his own out of his bag; a box that also contains an engagement ring. It was clear that the proposee had been planning the exact same move.
The two men, whose identities have not yet been made public, then kissed passionately and embraced one another: a clear sign that the wedding is due to go ahead. Meanwhile, a crowd of people who had had the privilege to witness the special moment cheered the couple on as they declared their love for each another.
The video was later shared to Twitter by the account @MemesFolder, where it quickly racked up a huge number of views and retweets from social media users who were left touched by the clip.

For instance, one Twitter-user wrote: "Ngl homosexual couples videos where one proposes to the other only for the other to freak out and pull out a ring too are definitely one of the best things on the Internet. [That] and dogs that are ridiculously excited about laughing babies. [sic]"
This couple recently went viral after they got engaged in a KFC:

I have a feeling that these two guys will have many years of happilly-married life to look forward to in the future.
When a good friend does something special and meaningful, you're supposed to be there for them and congratulate/support them as much as you can. When a best friend does it, however, you're more than entitled to mock them to your heart's content.
So, when Jill and Sean hired a photographer to take some artsy pictures in order to announce their engagement, they might have expected a little teasing from their friends. What they probably weren't expecting, however, was for the group of pals to copy the same images with near-perfect accuracy.
In a post on Facebook, photographer Darren Hatt shared the snaps he took of the happy couple... along with these stunning recreations:
1. The accuracy is astounding
2. Let's play a game of spot the difference
3. Aw, how romantic
4. Such a sweet, intimate moment
5. You can really feel the love between these two... and the engaged couple
6. Wait, which couple is the one getting married?
7. Nothing says 'love' like being shoulder-deep in a dirty lake while some crates burn in the background
8. You can see the love in their eyes
9. Seriously, though, these guys have a connection
10. You can tell they'd have such beautiful kids
11. I'm not convinced these two guys *aren't* dating
12. Invite me to both these weddings please
Well, Jill and Sean certainly look like a lovely couple - but their friends seem to have just as much of a romantic spark going on. Congrats to the soon-to-be husband and wife; I'm sure their wedding will be a total blast with this lot involved.

Recently two celebrity couples announced their engagement in the most boring way possible. Pete Davidson broke the news about his engagement to Ariana Grande by posting a black-and-white photo of mostly the ground. (The ring is just barely visible.) Then Justin Bieber confirmed his engagement to Hailey Baldwin by sharing a black-and-white photo of them kissing in a vague location (a department store?). What's more, he included a 244 word emotional message. Ugh, what are you doing, Justin, writing a novel? Ain't nobody got time for that!
Well, Sonni Vargas and Jordan Williams aren't celebrities, but they announced their engagement with the most awesome photo ever. When the love of your life proposes, it's a magical day, so it makes to do it in the most magical corporate theme park: Disney World! The website Hitched reported that, according to Instagram, the number two most popular location for proposals is Disney World, Florida. (With number one being Disneyland, Paris.)
While they were standing in front of the iconic Cinderella Castle, Jordan got down on one knee and proposed. Sonni said yes, agreeing to be Cinderella to his Prince Charming, Belle to his Prince Adam and Princess Leia to his Han Solo. The couple, both 22, took some fairy tale perfect pics, grinning and showing off the rock. But that doesn't quite capture the excitement, does it? When you get engaged, you want to shout it from the rooftops - and what better way than on a roller coaster?
While riding Space Mountain, Sonni flaunted her engagement ring to the camera with the perfect expression. Meanwhile, her husband screamed, possibly from the roller coaster, and possibly because he's having second thoughts about getting married at 22. (Just kidding.) Meanwhile, the two dudes in the front row do the 'Wakanda Salute' from The Black Panther, which is hilarious. Chadwick Boseman may sick of striking that pose, but they are not.
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/sonni_nicolette/status/1015763116620050432]]
Sonni shared the engagement pictures on Twitter, with the caption, "I can't wait to marry my best friend." The photos went viral, getting over 150,000 likes and 30,000 retweets. Disney fans loved it, noting that while Space Mountain pics are "hella expensive," this one is "worth every penny."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Catchin_zzZZ/status/1016195405317595136]]
Many people asked to see a better picture of the ring, so Sonni uploaded a close-up. One person pointed out, "UR NAILS ARE GREAT TOO," while another person gushed, "That ring is absolutely beautiful and unique and the pic at space Mountain kills me."
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/sonni_nicolette/status/1016209382386819073]]
Jordan also shared the photos on Twitter, writing, "I’m engaged to my best friend, my lover, my soulmate and I couldn’t be any happier!"

Sorry, Pete Davidson, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin. Your engagement photos were okay, but Sonni Vargas and Jordan Williams' Space Mountain photo is way better. Roller coaster rock pics are the new #CoupleGoals.

I made a decision a long time ago that, if I ever got married, I would keep my beady eyes peeled for a famous person.
Let's face it, with all the celebrity wedding photobombing going down these days, it would be just rude if one didn't decide to drop by my nuptials.
The latest case A-lister to partake in this trend? Amy Schumer.
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGjgRBFqQJ/]]
The American comedian was out and about in New York with her husband Chris Fischer when the pair spotted a loved-up couple having their engagement shoot in Central Park.
Naturally, they decided to ask if they could join them and the foursome proceeded to take the most adorable picture.
New Yorkers Jillian Georgio and Greg Hayes were thrilled to have the Grammy Award-nominated star stop by, claiming the famous couple - who got hitched back in February - were "so incredibly sweet".
[[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BpA5keTl-xZ/]]
"We were in Central Park in the middle of a photo and someone asked us if it was an engagement shoot and if they could join in," Jillian told BuzzFeed. "We had our backs turned to them and had no idea who it was until we turned around and obviously said yes."
She continued: "They were going for a walk and were so incredibly sweet. Amy suggested the picture and decided she and Chris should mimic the pose Greg and I were in."
Funnily enough, the pair - who got engaged in June after dating for almost seven years - reportedly only have the one picture of the encounter because their photographer (Bo from Brett Matthews Photography) didn’t recognise Amy from where he was standing in the park.

"He thought it was hilarious when we told him after who it was," Jillian said, adding: "She [Amy] told us marriage was awesome and wished us all the best."
It's not the first time Amy has surprised a blissfully happy couple - not by a long shot, in fact. The comedian photobombed a wedding in Australia last year, and another engagement shoot in Central Park three years ago.

In 2015, Joseph Turnage and Brandon Moore were snapping photos near the reservoir on 86th Street on the east side of New York City's Central Park when a jogger asked to join them.
[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Quiet50ul/status/608717792221601792]]
Their photographer Alisha Siegel told People magazine: "So out of nowhere I hear a girl scream 'OMG are you guys taking engagement photos? Lemme get in one!' I thought it was a little weird, but I said yes anyways. She took off her sunglasses, we snapped a quick pic, and right after she says, 'you guys know I'm like reeeal famous.' I [took] another look [and] it hit me that it was Amy Schumer! We all cracked up, and then she continued on her afternoon jog in Central Park."
So Amy, can you make it to my wedding? What am I thinking, of course you can! I'll send over the details.
