If we were to make a list of things that make women happy, an elaborate surprise proposal would probably make it to the top 10. But you know what would absolutely win, especially if she’s a dog lover? A proposal that involved dogs. 16 dogs, to be precise!
Maurice Goldstein and Laura Stampler, a couple from New York, had been dating for four years.
On Thanksgiving this year, they decided to take a trip to Los Angeles.
Little did Laura know that she was going to be engaged at one of the most stunning sights in LA, in the most amazing proposal planned by her BF, Maurice! And yes, it included 16, I repeat, 16 dogs!
Some ~personal news~ I got engaged last week and it was the best, because love is great but also because there were SIXTEEN VERY GOOD DOGS (bc unleashing dogs > releasing doves). pic.twitter.com/ZqP4w1uiek

You know how people release lanterns, swans, doves and even butterflies at their weddings? Well, since Laura was this huge dog lover (she even wrote a lot about them in a book she authored!), Maurice decided the furballs just had to be a part of this special moment he was planning for her!
That’s the newly engaged Maurice and Laura with their special witnesses!
It wasn’t just dogs that made this proposal special, BTW! There was so much more!
Maurice had done such meticulous planning to make sure everything was perfect!
Pay attention, boys, this is how you win at proposals!
When Maurice led his girlfriend Laura to the venue, she was stunned. He had laid out a path of rose petals for her!
At the top of the slope, right where the rose-petal path ended, was a group of acapella singers singing Laura’s favourite Disney songs!
I think I’m gonna cry!
And cry Laura did, out of sheer joy, when Maurice went down on one knee and brought out the ring!
And she said YES!
And that’s when all floof broke lose! Maurice had arranged for a pack of therapy dogs to be released towards them at the exact moment Laura said yes! And her reaction was priceless!
What’s more, to make sure that everyone was in their right place, Maurice had even hired people to stand in and save places for the choir group and the therapy dogs’ trainer and the photographers!
He even got the couple’s friend Rebecca, a wedding photographer, to be there to take all the amazing pictures!
But those dogs were definitely a masterstroke! Laura even tweeted about them!
This Frenchie (known by his humans as "Charlie with the chains") wasn't even a part of it! He just knew a good photo opp when he saw one pic.twitter.com/zHeJyt6J9x

In case you want to see all those adorable doggos up close, here’s some more pictures!
Here’s the video of the proposal that Laura has shared, so that everyone can watch it and happy-cry like she was doing the whole time it was happening!
In conclusion: It's been a rough year, but sometimes life can be really beautiful and, well, good. I really love my fiance, and united we'll continue in our quest to pet every dog. Also in case anyone wants to watch it all, in which I sob the whole time: https://t.co/JBTmcS2gbV

One of Laura’s friend made an excellent request for inviting these furballs to the actual wedding too! And soon-to-be bride had the perfect answer!
I mean, what else is my bouquet going to look like?
