"I planned it out because Rachel probably wanted to see me a lot," Curtis told ABC 7. "She also is one of the best people I've known."

Curtis' mother, Elissa, said her son spared no details.

"He was very excited and wanted to make sure everything was just right and get his suit on and pick out his bow tie that matched her dress," she said. "It was really cute. He was really excited for it to start and make sure he was ready to impress her."
