Help El Paso Couple Win America’s Favorite Couple Contest

One El Paso, Texas couple got the engagement of their dreams and now, they're looking to get the wedding of their dreams, and you can help them achieve that! For Angel Vazquez, meeting pro wrestling icon Sting wasn’t just a dream come true- it became the backdrop for one of the most unforgettable proposals ever.

A lifelong fan of the legendary wrestler, Angel popped the question to his girlfriend Crystal during a Sting meet & greet in Phoenix. The emotional moment quickly gained attention online, and now the couple is competing to be crowned America’s Favorite Couple- with $20,000 toward their dream wedding on the line. And yes, they’re hoping their hometown of El Paso shows up with some serious voting power.

Angel had been a fan of Sting since childhood- back when the wrestling legend rocked his blond “surfer” persona and electric entrance music. For years, Angel chased every chance to see his hero live, especially after Sting announced his retirement match. When meet & greet tour dates were finally posted, Angel saw his shot. He and Crystal made the drive to Phoenix, but what she didn’t know was that Angel had been secretly planning the proposal for weeks, ring and all! Inspired by a gut feeling during a toy hunt, Angel walked into a Zales “just to look,” and walked out with a beautiful ring- and a heart full of nerves.

With the ring hidden and nerves sky-high, Angel had one goal: make it unforgettable. Before stepping into the meet & greet room, he quietly passed a handwritten note to both Sting and the fan behind them in line. The note asked Sting if it would be okay to propose- and if the fan could discreetly film it. Sting nodded and smiled.

When it was their turn, Angel handed over a special Funko Pop of Sting, a sentimental gift from his brother Diego- who had passed a few years ago, and dropped to one knee. With his childhood hero just feet away, and Crystal completely stunned, Angel asked the question he’d been rehearsing in his head for weeks.

She said yes.

The celebration didn’t stop there. When Angel told their Airbnb hosts why he hadn’t responded to their messages right away, they surprised the couple with a heartfelt gift to mark the moment.

But just days later, Angel’s world shifted. His grandfather- who was incredibly close to Crystal and would’ve been overjoyed by the engagement- passed away. “He loved my fiancée so much,” Angel shared. “He would’ve been so happy to see us getting married.” The loss made an already special proposal even more meaningful. For Angel, winning America’s Favorite Couple isn’t just about a title or the $20,000 wedding prize- it’s about honoring the love and memories that brought them to this point.

Now, Angel and Crystal are hoping their hometown can help make their love story go even further. Voting for America’s Favorite Couple is open through August, and every click counts.
