Christian and Alex met through mutual friends and have been together for four years

Funny enough Alex was mad all morning because he thought that they were going to a surprise party he didn’t want to attend. And then when they were late he was even more irritated. Little did he know that he would be laughing and smiling all evening after Christian popped the question on the rooftop of The Dillion. Christians friends spent all afternoon setting up the space, lighting candles, and scattering rose petals for these two lovebirds.

Afterwards they headed to Taverna Agora for a surprise proposal party with friends and family!

Best Places for a Proposal in Downtown Raleigh

The Dillion Rooftop: Let’s see a rooftop view. Close to Barcelona for celebratory drinks. And a private balcony. The Dillion is a top contender for Downtown Raleigh Proposals

Boylan Bridge: These bridge is the place if you prefer a more spur of the moment, surprise proposal but still score a skyline view. While the bridge is heavily trafficked by bikers, pedestrians, and cars, its the perfect place to pop the question where your partner won’t anticipate it. You can see this spot via Billy & Colleen’s Proposal

NC Museum of Art: What’s better than a quiet stroll or picnic with your loved one before popping the question? the NCMA has been a hotspot for proposals in the Triangle for awhile now and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Brian and Kate got engaged at the NCMA! Check out their love story here.
