Surprise Proposal: Hair and Makeup Artist Jen Martens Pops the Question to Partner Amanda Avila

Hair and makeup artist Jen Martens had been joking with her partner, Amanda Avila, about proposing for years. However, when the opportunity presented itself during a styled wedding photo shoot, Martens seized the moment and planned a surprise proposal in just one week.

Photographer Christina Frary of Matthew David Studio approached Martens and Avila about modeling for a photo shoot, and Martens saw this as the perfect chance to pop the question. With only a week to prepare, Martens overnighted a stand-in ring from jeweler Local Eclectic and quickly scheduled a tattoo appointment with Cody Cowan of Iron Palm Tattoo Parlour in Palm Springs.

Martens had the words “Will you marry me?” tattooed on her ankles, all while trying to keep the proposal a secret from Avila. Despite the challenges of keeping the surprise under wraps, Martens managed to pull off the proposal flawlessly.

The heartwarming story of Martens’ spontaneous and creative proposal has captured the attention of many, showcasing the power of love and the lengths people will go to for their partners. Congratulations to the happy couple on their engagement!
