"Will you marry me," he asked.
She replied, "yes."
Dalton worked with his parents back here in Houston to get permission from American Airlines to have the roses at the gate when the flight arrived at Bush Intercontinental Airport. Dalton says all the planning kept him on edge.
"I've been nervous for the past couple of hours," said Dalton. "I haven't been able to eat or think about anything else."
Dalton is home from a tour in Iraq for two weeks. The couple says they will get married when his tour is complete in a few months.
