MOHAMMED + HARLEY’S BEACH PROPOSAL

The Proposal:

Mohammed surprised Harley with a gorgeous proposal located at the beach which they fell in love. The setting was styled with a breathtaking floral arbour and candles. With professional help from My Proposal Co., Mohammed was able to plan the proposal of his dreams for Harley!

How They Met:

When she was 14, she applied for a job at a local Thai restaurant where Mohammed, a 16-year-old chef, worked. She was a waitress and though overtime developed a massive crush on him. However, Mohammed didn’t seem to notice. She worked there for about a year, and after some time, decided to move back with her family in England.

Two years later, fate brought her back to Australia, and she returned to the same restaurant to apply for a job once again. This time, Mohammed was still working there, and the two slowly began talking. Eventually, Mohammed offered to take her home one day, and from there, their connection grew stronger. The three weeks after they both woke up at 3am to watch the sunrise together before heading to work.

At 17, Harley was still waiting for Mohammed to make a move, but she was patient. On her 18th birthday, he asked her to be his girlfriend.

How He Proposed:

The proposal was a moment full of surprises. They were walking down the beach, a place that held special meaning for her, as it was where she had fallen in love with Mohammed. As they strolled, she noticed a group of people nearby who were getting engaged. There was a large display of flowers, and she immediately thought, Wow, they’re getting engaged. She turned to Mohammed and suggested they walk off to the side to avoid getting in the photos.

But as they walked further down the beach, it became clear that the couple wasn’t actually standing under the flower display—they were just in the background. As they approached, Mohammed gently pulled her toward the proposal setting, and she started to pull away, not sure what was happening. She protested, “No, no, no,” but Mohammed continued to lead her toward the center of the flower arbour.

Then, without warning, he dropped to one knee and said her full name. For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond—she was overwhelmed with emotion and started crying. There was no immediate yes; she just stood there in disbelief, tears streaming down her face. Mohammed waited patiently, and eventually, through the tears, she said yes!

Still emotional, she stood there in the middle of the proposal setting, wondering if this was really happening and Mohammed placed the ring on her finger. The moment was full of raw emotion as they both cried in awe of the love they had found in each other.
