Two days before Christmas 2007, I convinced my girlfriend I had to work that day (we are both surgical residents). I bought her family tickets to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular that day and asked that they not tell her where they came from.
About half an hour before the show, my brother and I stood outside the venue in a huge snowmen outfits handing out candy canes to the tourists and to people in line while waiting for the next show. When she finally came out, I handed her a candy cane, then asked for a hug, using a "mimed" hug. She reluctantly obliged and I reached down and grabbed her buttock with my mitted left hand...she was aghast, and before she could slap me (or run away) I was on one knee with a ring at the end of my outstretched hand.
It was a wonderful scene when I finally took my mask off. The crowd was cheering, she was sobbing, and our families were jumping up and down. My sister was hidden in the crowd taping the whole thing, which can be seen below.

My marriage proposal began as a trip to Clearwater, Florida.
I convinced my fiancee — a former Ms. Maryland and Travel Channel employee — that I was going to produce our own reality television show. Little did she know I was recording every minute of her special day.
When we finally landed on the white sand beaches of Clearwater, Fl I began looking for the perfect spot to offer a lifetime partnership. I found a area between some rocks where ironically there was a beautiful wedding in site.
I don't want to spoil all the details so please share our moment by watching the video below. Thanks.
