Mitch was preparing to propose to Casey, and the only thing he knew was that he wanted to involve penguins.

Yes. You read that right.

You see, their first Halloween together Casey told Mitch to go get them two costumes– and he came back with two full-body penguin suits. From then on, it sort of became their ‘thing’.

After a few tries, Mitch got in tough with the Pittsburg zoo and was able to figure out a way to make the proposal happen. He went so far as to send a fake letter to their house telling them they’d won a free behind-the-scenes look at the penguin exhibit. The camera crew also posed as others who had won a look at the exhibition. Sneaky, sneaky.

The penguin with the ring (Mickey) makes his grand entrance at 3:33. You have to watch Casey as she figures out that Mickey is sporting a diamond ring for her.

Personally, I love Mickey’s reaction when Mitch moves to get the ring (around 4:35). You can see the look on Mitch’s face that’s kind of like– this penguin isn’t going to do anything to me, right?
