Love at Every Stage: Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Ring
By Ring on February 6, 2026
Valentine's Day is all about celebrating love in its many forms. The butterflies of a first "yes," the joy of saying "I do," and the quiet, intimate moments that make a relationship uniquely yours. But here's the thing about life's most meaningful moments: they don't always happen when you're ready with a camera in hand. Sometimes, love's biggest milestones unfold in the most unexpected places. Like your driveway, your front porch, or the threshold of your new home on the night you become husband and wife.
This Valentine's Day, we're celebrating love in all its stages as we share moments that changed everything for our Ring customers. These stories remind us that the best memories aren't always the ones we stage.
From "I Do" to "We're Home": A Wedding Night to Remember
Still glowing from a night of celebration just hours after their wedding reception, Mckinzey and her husband stepped through their front door for the first time as husband and wife. "Stepping into our home for the first time as husband and wife was such a genuine, joy-filled moment," she recalled. After an evening surrounded by friends and family, filled with laughter, dancing, and happy tears, the newlyweds were finally alone and ready to begin their forever in the quiet of their own home before jetting off to their honeymoon. What they didn't realize? Their Ring doorbell was capturing every second of this precious milestone. "We couldn't stop smiling," Mckinzey said, watching the footage back. "This was such a sweet clip of the two of us as newlyweds, and it's like reliving the moment all over again." It's a beautiful reminder that Ring isn't just about security. It's also about preserving life's most joyful, unexpected moments. The ones you'd never think to record yourself, but are so grateful to have forever.
The Birthday Surprise She Never Saw Coming
Sam had just picked up an engagement ring, for his partner Kelly, and knew exactly what he wanted to do next. "I planned to propose in the driveway, but I didn't think the Ring camera might pick it up," he explained. As the couple walked out of their home, Kelly was focused on one thing: her birthday dinner reservation. She had no idea what was about to happen. Then, right there in their driveway, Sam dropped to one knee. "I had no idea," Kelly said, still beaming. "I knew we had a dinner reservation, but I didn't think the proposal would happen because of that. I was very surprised, which was fun." Through tears and laughter, she said yes and their Ring doorbell captured every second of the life-changing moment. Before heading to dinner, the newly engaged couple celebrated with champagne and their dog Louie, toasting to their future in the very spot where it all began.
A Love Story's Perfect Beginning
Newlyweds Jessica and Vidal walked up to their newly purchased home — not as guests and not as boyfriend and girlfriend, but as husband and wife and homeowners. It was the same evening as their wedding, and after an unforgettable celebration surrounded by the family and friends they love, the couple was ready to begin their version of forever in their new home.
Their Ring doorbell quietly captured the moment if two people, still in their wedding attire, crossing the threshold into their future together. "We're so happy to capture these special moments that we can share with others. or for when we have children, to show them how happy their parents were on the night of their wedding," Jessica explained. It's a reminder that Ring isn't just about security. It's about preserving the pure emotions of life's biggest milestones—the ones that happen when you least expect them, right at your own front door.
