A Surprise Romantic Proposal | Pruthvi & Tithi | Private Palm Venue

Some proposals are romantic. Some are emotional. And then there are proposals that feel like they were written into the stars years before they ever happen. Pruthvi and Tithi’s surprise romantic proposal at this private palm venue in Maui was exactly that. Thoughtful, deeply personal, and overflowing with love, family, and intention.

Pruthvi and Tithi have been together for nearly eight years, but their story started long before that. They grew up in the same town, spent years as friends, and slowly built a connection rooted in shared values, culture, and genuine admiration for one another. From the beginning, Pruthvi knew Tithi was special. Her love for family, her ambition, her carefree spirit, and the way she brought her Indian and Hindu culture into his life in such a meaningful way.

So when it came time to propose, Pruthvi knew this moment had to reflect who she is: simple, beautiful, intentional, and full of heart. And he wanted it to be a complete surprise.

The Plan: A White Lotus–Inspired Beach Proposal in Maui

Planning a surprise proposal in Maui from New Jersey is no small task… and Pruthvi was the first to admit that planning wasn’t his strong suit. That’s where we came in.

From the very first conversation, Pruthvi shared his vision clearly. He loved the look of our White Lotus–inspired beach proposals. A soft, elegant setup with a floral entrance, candles lining the path, and a romantic focal point at the end. He wanted sunset timing for the most picturesque light, no oversized “Marry Me” sign (because Tithi prefers simple elegance), and a setting that felt private and emotional rather than flashy.

The biggest piece of the plan? The surprise.

Tithi was already on a girls trip in Maui with her sister, completely unaware that Pruthvi — along with her cousins, siblings, and his sister — were secretly flying in as well. The first time she would see Pruthvi wasn’t at the airport or hotel… it would be when he was standing in front of her on the beach, ready to ask the biggest question of his life.

Together, we chose this private venue in West Maui, a breathtaking private estate that offers a secluded beachfront feel, palm trees swaying overhead, and golden sunset views. The perfect backdrop for an intimate Maui proposal. We coordinated timelines, permits, photography, décor, and logistics, making sure everything flowed seamlessly while keeping the surprise intact.

Every floral detail and step along the path was designed to feel romantic, peaceful, and intentional… a reflection of Tithi’s personality and the life they’ve built together.

The Proposal: A Sunset Surprise, Followed by an Even Bigger One

As the sun dipped lower and the sky began to glow, Tithi arrived at the venue expecting nothing more than a beautiful evening in Maui. What she didn’t expect was to see Pruthvi standing at the end of a floral pathway, waiting for her.

The look on her face said everything.

Shock. Joy. Tears. Laughter. The kind of reaction that only comes when your heart is completely overwhelmed in the best way possible.

As she walked toward him, surrounded by flowers and the sound of the ocean behind her, Pruthvi did what he’s known all along — he chose her. He spoke from the heart, honoring their years of friendship, their shared culture, their love for family, and the future he couldn’t imagine without her. And when he dropped to one knee at sunset, with Maui glowing all around them, Tithi said yes.

But the surprises weren’t over yet.

Just moments after the proposal, her family stepped out onto the lookout. Cousins, siblings, loved ones who had traveled all this way in secret to be there for this moment. The tears came again, the hugs were endless, and the beach filled with laughter, joy, and celebration.

Afterward, we captured a mini engagement session, allowing Pruthvi and Tithi to soak in the moment, breathe, laugh, and begin this new chapter together.

Why This Maui Proposal Was So Special

Pruthvi and Tithi’s proposal was a reminder that the most meaningful proposals aren’t about being the biggest or boldest. They’re about being intentional. Every detail reflected who they are: simple, family-oriented, deeply connected, and full of love.

At Engaged on Maui, this is exactly why we do what we do. We help bring long-distance planning, surprise logistics, and heartfelt visions together so couples can focus on what truly matters. The moment they choose forever.

Pruthvi planned this proposal with so much care, and Tithi felt every bit of it. Their story proves that love doesn’t need a script… it just needs honesty, intention, and a setting as beautiful as Maui to hold it all.

Pruthvi & Tithi, your love radiates. And it was an honor to help you begin this next chapter together 💍🌺
