What attracted him to her: Her spunky personality.
Engagement story: “I’m not into romantic scenes at all,” says Maria. “Which Mike knows and uses to embarrass me publicly on a regular basis. We had just bought our house and Mike called me out to the balcony. I went outside and he said, ‘I see something in the sky,’ and I said, ‘Mike, if that’s a plane that says Maria will you marry me, I’m going to gag.’ Sure enough, a plane rounds the corner with a banner that says ‘Maria will you marry me?’ I turned around and he was on one knee proposing. We were both laughing so hard I don’t think I even answered.”
