March 19th began as just another rainy, dreary workday for Megan Zahorec. The 27-year-old counselor at Greentown Intermediate school, in North Canton, Ohio was anxious about leading the quarterly fire drill that morning since she was still relatively new there. Even when the red fire truck pulled up and she spotted her boyfriend, firefighter Justin Deierling, climb out, she was too distracted by the duty at hand to realize the incredible reason why he was there. That is, until hundreds of students began screaming — when she finally looked up, she saw a banner that read "Ms. Z, will you marry me?"

“I was so surprised but I didn’t even have to think about it [accepting the proposal]. Just two months after being with him I couldn’t imagine life without him," the bride-to-be tells ABC News.

Deierling had been secretly working on the proposal for two weeks with the help of the PTO president and the school principal. He met his now-fiancée six months earlier, while volunteering at the fire station and participating in a walk-a-thon that the school hosted.

"I knew instantly that she was someone special by the way that she interacted with the kids. I wanted to incorporate how we met and the kids, who she adores, into the proposal," he tells The Huffington Post. His brother, Adam, filmed the special moment and uploaded it to YouTube, where it has since gone viral.

The wedding shower has gotten a bad rap in recent years, with many young women thinking of it as an outdated obligation instead of the fun pre-wedding party it is. Many brides are opting out of the tradition altogether, but we think it just needs to be reimagined! Read on for our favorite new ways to do wedding showers.

1. Give it a fun theme.
A great theme can take an average party to the next level, and incorporating a fun, modern theme is the easiest way to make a wedding shower more fun. One theme we love for summer: a patio party!
