Valentine’s Day usually conjures images of candlelit dinners and chocolates, but last year, on our Portugal vacation, romance showed up in truly Deep Dish fashion right on Centre Court.
A Valentine’s Day Unlike Any Other
It started like any other Deep Dish trip: golden sands, great vibes, new friendships, and plenty of beach volleyball in the sunshine. Guests threw themselves into tournaments, enjoyed epic socials and made memories that would last a lifetime.
But amidst all the action, one very special couple had something bigger in store.
Love and Volleyball: The Deep Dish Magic
Andrezj worked with the Deep Dish team to quietly plan a surprise proposal in a setting he and Magda both loved. It was a dream come true: a heartfelt proposal in the middle of Centre Court, surrounded by friends who might have only met days before and yet already felt like family.
Spoiler alert: Magda said yes. 🎉

Cue cheering, applause, and exuberant celebrations.
It truly was one of the most unforgettable moments we’ve ever witnessed: a surprise engagement surrounded by a community of friends, laughter, and beach volleyball.
Why Active Holidays Bring Couples Closer
Deep Dish holidays aren’t just about sport, they’re about connection. Being outdoors, laughing, and encouraging each other builds bonds faster than a candlelit dinner ever could.
Here are just a few ways active holidays strengthen relationships:
Shared experiences create memories – new activities spark laughter and teamwork.
Physical activity boosts mood and closeness – endorphins are a couple’s best friend.
Adventures build trust and support – navigating challenges together strengthens partnerships.
Whether it’s a romantic getaway, a sports-filled adventure with your partner, or simply trying something new together, travel and sport bring people closer - sometimes in the most unexpected ways.
A Valentine’s Toast to Unexpected Love
Not every trip ends with a ring and roaring applause, but every Deep Dish holiday has the potential to create unforgettable moments. This Valentine’s Day, we’re raising a toast (and maybe a volleyball) to love stories that happen off the beaten path - who needs Hinge?
Next time we gather on Portugal’s golden sands, the biggest play of the day might not be a spike, but another surprise “yes.”
