Camryn Grimes is engaged!
On January 7, the Young and the Restless actress, 32, said "yes" to her partner, Brock Powell's sweet Up-themed proposal — and PEOPLE has the exclusive photos.
"It was my on my birthday, which I famously hate, and the day was hectic," Grimes exclusively tells PEOPLE. "All I knew was that there was a dinner that night and so I couldn't understand why Brock had me running around all day. We ended up running late for dinner and Brock said he had to stop at the house first, we pull up and he grabs our dog Riley and asks me to get out of the car and join him.
He escorts me to the backyard which was lit with markets lights and candles and balloons everywhere! Then he got down on one knee and popped the question!"
Powell, a voiceover actor, adds, "There wasn't just a plan for the proposal, there was a whole theme to the animated movie Up from 2009. The movie deeply connected to both Cam and I, especially as two people who were deeply in love and unable to travel and see the world beyond their own house over the last couple years.
"
"In using the theme I tried to find a way to represent our love story so far by incorporating gentle nods to our favorite things," he says. "In addition to, of course, our mutual love for Disney, our dog Riley stood in for "Dug" complete with an app-controlled collar built by a dear friend and genius Disney TikTok influencer (@alexcorrao), which works twofold because Cam loves TikTok and the year prior Alex helped me recreate Disneyland at home for her Christmas gift!"
