Colton BrockBank, 25, convinced his girlfriend Taylor that he had broken his back while wakeboarding on Valentine’s Day, and got her to come to the hospital to see him.

Lying in bed with a neck brace and an oxygen mask on him, BrockBank hands her some flowers, despite difficulty moving his arms.

But as the clearly emotional girlfriend turns around to hug his mother, he springs out of bed, ripping off the mask and his fake IV, and getting down on one knee.

Still in his hospital gown, Colton proposes to Taylor with her immediately saying yes and jumping into his arms.

The couple married in September.
