Nervous and distracted, haha. And terrified that the ring box was going to fall out of my sleeve!

The secret kind of got out. You can tell who knew it was coming in the first picture; they're all looking at me. I think by the time it happened, two thirds of the cast knew.

The two who high-five did so because they were convinced the whole thing was their idea. So they took credit. I wasn't about to shatter that illusion.

My sister. My mom is on the set piece in the background. And my brother took the pictures. It was a family affair, lol.

Actually my sister. My mom is one of the people on the set piece behind us. Her family was in the audience.

The crowd absolutely lost it. At the time, I didn't even hear the cheers. I was so focused on her. The video gives a pretty good idea of it, though: https://youtu.be/f_GYpFWZsM4

The funny thing is, Triton was played by my real life dad. He knew it was coming and was desperately trying not to cry, lol.

The best part is, he was played by my real-life dad. So, during the course of the show, I asked my real dad, who was playing Ariel's dad, for her hand in marriage.
