On Oct. 22, 2017, after almost two years of dating, Stamosproposedat Disneyland. McHugh is an activeDisneybounder, a superfan who dresses up in character at the amusement park.
“The [pregnancy] happened. Then I said, I better have a ring on her finger because it’s the right thing to do, and I wanted to marry her anyway,” Stamos told PEOPLE exclusively in December 2017. “So I called her parents to ask, and it was like, ‘You better!’”
Before popping the question, Stamos screened a short film that he made of romantic moments from animated Pixar and Disney films, ending the display withThe Little Mermaid— which encouraged him to “just ask the girl.”
“She loves Disneyland and [at the park], I got on my knee and asked her,” Stamos said. “I pulled the ring out. I don’t know how she did it, but she went to hug me and slipped her finger right in it. When the park closed, we ran around the park in our Disney onesies.”
