Maghann & Peter in Dade City, FL

Maghann and Peter have a very fun, lighthearted relationship, so it was only fitting that their proposal be a little untraditional. The Bride Maghann Perry, 23, student The Groom Peter Ruiz, 24, welder The Date September 23 The couple had been dating for six years when they gathered at Maghann’s family’s house for Christmas Eve. Maghann was upstairs when Peter’s brother came in with some upsetting news: Peter had cut his hand and needed to go to the emergency room. Maghann ran downstairs to find Peter ghostly white, but just as he was about to pass out, he dropped to one knee and opened up his hand to reveal a beautiful diamond ring. “I was absolutely shocked but relieved to find out that there was no cut, just a very creative proposal,” says Maghann.
