Chak & Xuelin’s Dreamy Big Island Proposal at Sunset

Chak and Xuelin’s Big Island proposal unfolded just as the sky began to turn molten gold. He carried a secret and a ring; she brought effortless grace and zero idea what was coming. Their corgi, in a flower lei (because of course), trotted happily beside them—blissfully unaware it was about to witness something major.

Love, Lava Rocks, and a Very Important Question

It started like any peaceful sunset walk—except Chak was a little too calm for someone about to change both of their lives. As waves whispered against the lava rocks, he led Xuelin to a quiet spot and knelt, ring in hand. Her gasp? Immediate. Her yes? Absolutely. And the corgi? Tail wagging like its little life depended on it.

Here’s how it started: Chak had a plan. A beach. A sunset. A ring. And a tiny dog wearing a flower lei, because obviously. He brought Xuelin to Kona Airport Beach with the kind of casual confidence that screams I’m totally not about to propose, why do you ask? The sky was doing this ridiculous golden thing—like someone had airbrushed the whole horizon in soft light just for them.

Also, waves. Gently crashing. Lava rocks. Romance dialed up to eleven.

Golden Hour Glow-Up

Once the shock melted into joy, the romance practically staged itself. Xuelin’s white dress caught the breeze like something out of a dream, and Chak, in his classic black polo, looked every bit the leading man. They shared soft forehead touches and sweet glances, framed by light that made the whole world feel hushed and golden.

A Beach Proposal in Hawaii—With a Furry Twist

Let’s be honest: their corgi was the scene-stealer. Decked out in a lei and absolutely owning the camera, the pup proudly inserted itself into nearly every frame. Chak and Xuelin didn’t mind. They laughed, cuddled their four-legged photobomber, and soaked up every second as a little family of three.

A Sunset They’ll Never Forget

As the sun melted into the ocean, they ended the evening hand in hand on the lava rocks—quiet, glowing, completely in sync. Not just engaged, but anchored. This wasn’t just a proposal; it was the beginning of something extraordinary.

The Big Island sunset was, once again, showing off in the most ridiculous, golden-hour kind of way. Chak and Xuelin stood there soaking it in—like a scene pulled straight from a love story with excellent lighting.

Chak and Xuelin—huge congratulations on saying yes to forever (and for doing it with that kind of sunset and a flower-clad corgi, no less). We’re so grateful you let us tag along for such a wildly beautiful, life-changing moment. Honestly? It was an honor just to witness the magic—and maybe cry a little behind the lens.
