“The movie theater – all that trauma – that’s not the end of my story,” she said. “It’s the beginning.”
Two years after being shot and injured in a midnight movie theater massacre that shattered hearts in Colorado, 21-year-old Bonnie Kate Zoghbi found herself back in a movie theater for one of the best nights of her life.
Unbeknownst to Bonnie Kate, her filmmaker boyfriend Max Zoghbi, had been working for months on a short film that told the story of how the couple fell in love, and arranged for a screening of the trailer in a theater — while being secretly recorded.
Bonnie Kate was one of 70 people injured when suspected gunman James Holmes opened fire inside an Aurora, Colorado, theater, killing 12. It took her weeks to recover, and she says she still lives with constant pain from the shootings.
"The movie theater – all that trauma – that's not the end of my story," Bonnie Kate told the Daily Mail . "It's the beginning."
Max, 26, wanted to include a movie theater in his proposal to make sure a movie theater was part of the best day of her life — instead of the worst.

Max took Bonnie Kate to the movies on Jan. 10 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he had arranged for the film trailer he directed to play, completely taking her by surprise.
"I was so excited it felt like my heart was about to pop with joy," Bonnie Kate told ABC News. "I was hoping for it, let's just get married let's just get engaged, I can't even put it into words."
