What A Proposal!

In my habit of not letting things get TOO serious here at the Tim Moore blog (I did Health Care Reform yesterday!), here’s one that will warm your heart.

Mike Freed, who is the building manager here at One City Center (the home of the 94.9 WHOM studios) sent me the video below. It is of his son’s rather unconventional proposal to his (now) fiancée! Everyone I have shown it to has loved it—so I thought I’d broaden the distribution list a bit!

All of us can remember the moment when we “popped the question”. Guys down on one knee, the women often surprised. This one is so adorable—not only because of the unique way that it was done, but—as you’ll see—the reaction of the bride-to-be---and her COMPLETE oblivion to the people surrounding the event.

For some reason, we guys like the element of surprise. Some dudes will display their proposal on the Jumbotron at a baseball game (“JENNIFER, WILL YOU MARRY ME?”) whereupon every Jennifer in the park gets excited –to the dismay of their dates who have NO INTENTION of getting hitched! Sometimes, it happens in a restaurant, sometimes in a park.

The ring is a must—and if the question is followed by anything other than a shriek or enthusiastic “YES!”, then our hero has made a complete ass of himself. Thankfully, I have only proposed ONCE—and the answer was yes. My heart goes out to those poor guys who are left hanging. Perhaps it’s for the best. Anything less than a robust “YES!” portends trouble for the future union.

That, of course, doesn’t include SHOCK. There is certainly an element of shock in this encounter—enjoy:

As I wrote to Mike, it appears that this happy couple are totally made for each other—she saw NO ONE ELSE THERE for the longest time. A long and happy life awaits. And all of our collective thanks for sharing a special moment that can inspire lovers the world over!
