The beautiful proposal started with Gunn telling her future spouse "fairy tales do exist" and professing her love for Christian.

"You make me feel safe; you make me feel protected," she said. "The more that I run, the more that you stay — the more I fall in love with you."

Christian followed up before getting on one knee with a heartfelt speech.

"I've gone from city to city, from state to state, and now from country to country in search of something very special," he said. "The difficult thing about what I'm searching for is that it's not something that you can always see. It's the feeling of my heart beating fast, it's the feeling of butterflies in my stomach, it's the feeling of goosebumps on my arms, and I know that that feeling is love. See, Maurissa, I love you, and I've loved you since our very first date, but I need to be sure," Christian professed before popping the question.
