Groomzilla

Too much back story, but met in 2001 at work...came together April 2010 and have been inseparable ever since.  Proposed on 12/14/11 during a trip to Maui that was her mom's b-day trip.  Smuggled the ring in my pocket through the metal detectors...didn't want them ruining my secret by accident nor did I trust leaving it in our bags.  Sunset  on the beach in Maui at our condo...had my future brother in law armed with a camera to capture it.  First attempt I faked a leg cramp which caused me to go to one knee.  Her reaction was to instantly jump up and tell me to 'stretch!'.  That was take 1 ;).  2nd attempt was about 5min later as we reclined on lounge watching the sunset and talking.  As I was telling her how happy she made me,etc, she glanced to her left and saw something she wanted to take a picture of and started to stand up.  Nope..not this time! I gently convinced her to stay put, told her how happy she makes me and how much I loved her and pulled the ring from her blind side and proposed.  Love the fact that we got her instant reaction captured forever as I asked and opened the ring box.  After a few minutes of surprise and 'You said you wouldn't do that because you didn't trust traveling with a ring, etc"..I reminded her that I was waiting for an answer.  She of course said 'yes!'. Rest is now history.
