However, through a prepared statement sent by Lt. Col. Ann Knabe, the couple asked not to be identified.
“They are requesting their privacy be respected,” Knabe wrote in the statement.
However, they thanked Golik for the photos she captured while sightseeing in the nation's capital during a teacher's conference there.
The Nevada Appeal ran the story of on July 6 of Golik searching for the couple she photographed during what she thought was a marriage proposal.
She later posted a video to YouTube asking for help in finding the pair. The video went viral, receiving more that 200,000 hits.
“My goal was to find the couple and give them the photos,” she said. “I don't need to put my face out there everywhere if they've been found.”
Knabe also cleared up some misunderstandings about the photo.
Golik said she was happy to have resolved the mystery and provide the couple with their photos. However, she said, she was not prepared for the notoriety.
While the majority of the comments were supportive, other commenters accused her of trying to launch a photography career or being a stalker.
“People who know me knew that was not my purpose,” she said. “I was just trying to do something nice.”
At the very least, she got a trip to New York City with her daughters Hannah and Abby, and some fodder for her American government class.
“It's going to be a great lesson in social media,” she said. “I have learned a lot to be able to use with my kids.”

However, through a prepared statement sent by Lt. Col. Ann Knabe, the couple asked not to be identified.

However, they thanked Golik for the photos she captured while sightseeing in the nation's capital during a teacher's conference there.
“The couple is delighted that this intimate moment at the War Memorial has brought warmth and inspiration to many hearts. It does them good to know the photos have restored hope in the idea of love for some, based on the comments readers and viewers have posted on the Web. The couple would like to thank Ms. Golik for capturing photographs they might not have otherwise had.”

She later posted a video to YouTube asking for help in finding the pair. The video went viral, receiving more that 200,000 hits.
Golik was solicited by several national television programs share her story. After receiving the email from Knabe, she said, she re moved the video from YouTube and canceled the remainder of her appearances.
“My goal was to find the couple and give them the photos,” she said. “I don't need to put my face out there everywhere if they've been found.”
Knabe also cleared up some misunderstandings about the photo.
“The Air Force member was not proposing to his fiancee ... at least not for the first time, as they had become engaged two weeks prior to these photos,” she wrote. “Instead, they were walking around several memorials to determine if one of them would make a good location for their wedding ceremony. The photographer happened to catch the couple acting as if they were reciting their vows in the middle of the memorial, and reliving their sweet moment from two weeks prior.”
Golik said she was happy to have resolved the mystery and provide the couple with their photos. However, she said, she was not prepared for the notoriety.
