We were both working the home goods counter at Macy's on Black Friday. It was chaos. He bent down to get something from under the counter and I sneezed on him. Awkward hysterical laughter ensued. Luckily, he still wanted to talk to me at 3 am when the lines died down. Hours of talking about Lord of the Rings and dealing with the Black Friday crazies later, we knew something special had started.
We were at a beach house in Sunset Beach with my family. He asked if I wanted to go for a walk on the beach in the morning and we roamed about for a little while. On the way back to the house, midway up the walkway to the house, he gets on one knee and pops the question. I obviously say yes and I hear cheers from the balcony of the beach house. Apparently my family had come out to see the whole thing!
