Celebrating Arash and Taylor’s proposal at London House in Chicago.

There’s something undeniably romantic about a Chicago rooftop proposal—especially when it happens just days before Christmas. With twinkling lights, the festive city skyline, and the Chicago River below, the rooftop at London House Chicago was the perfect setting for this sweet couple’s surprise engagement.

At 3:00 PM on a crisp December afternoon, Arash arrived with Taylor at London House’s iconic rooftop, bundled up against the winter chill. She thought they were just stopping by to take in the view—one of the best in the city. But as the skyline stretched behind them and holiday music played softly in the background, he got down on one knee.

Her reaction was pure joy—laughter, tears, and a glowing “yes” that echoed above the Chicago streets. With the sun low in the sky and the city sparkling in the distance, it was a moment straight out of a holiday romance movie.

But the surprises didn’t stop there.

As she tried to catch her breath and take it all in, the doors to the rooftop opened—and out came their families, who had been secretly watching the proposal unfold from inside. There were cheers, hugs, and happy tears all around. The couple’s surprise proposal with family added a layer of meaning that made the moment even more unforgettable.

Together, they celebrated with champagne, shared stories, and enjoyed the magic of the season against the stunning Chicago skyline.
