Maxx Morando’s proposal to Miley Cyrus was something beautiful.
The 27-year-old recently recounted how he asked the Hannah Montana alum to marry him.
“We were in Kyoto, Japan,” Morando told Wonderland Magazine in an interview published July 28. “For some reason—you’ll find this as crazy as I did—she’d never been to Japan before. Neither had I, and we’d both wanted to go for a really long time. There were talks before we went about me popping the question but I was trying to keep it secret.”
Throughout their trip, the Liily drummer had tried to keep the impending engagement under wraps, despite Cyrus’ growing suspicions her boyfriend of four years was about to get down on one knee. In fact, he revealed that he waited until “the very last moment of the very last day to throw her off the scent.”
“I had to be really sneaky about it,” Morando explained. “We went to Tokyo first for a couple days and then on to Kyoto. I think she had a sense that it was coming.”
And although the big moment didn’t include flowers, they were surrounded by gorgeous greenery inside a Japanese garden located on their hotel grounds.
