CABVI Couture 2013 was, by all accounts, a resounding success, but plans to outdo the event next year might be tough as this year's closer was a very unexpected proposal.

The event was well organized and well-attended.  Everything went off without a hitch, an unexpected bonus for any first-time event.  But nothing compared to the proposal plans that were kept a surprise from almost everyone.
