“It was absolutely perfect,” Robinson told FOX 9.
She said Hogan planned to propose at the Minnesota Wild game on St. Patrick’s Day that was cancelled.
“With restaurants closing and this COVID causing closings and cancellations, he didn’t know what to do. I set up this surprise Zoom party with our family and friends and he just did it,” she said.
“I know this wasn’t the original plan, but I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Robinson added.
