“My engagement story was one I had dreamed about most of my life. I wanted to be surprised, something grandiose, and I wasn’t disappointed. My favorite band from my youth is a group called Jackopierce. Jason and I had planned to go see them in concert. Unbeknownst to me, months before the concert, Jason had reached out to their band manager and the band and had set up the proposal during the show. Half way through the show, Jason excused himself to go to the bathroom. After a while I began to get worried about him, when they stopped the concert and started talking about something special for one of their fans. Out of nowhere, Jason appeared on stage and they were asking me to come up and join them. I was laughing and crying and just so happy. Jason got down on one knee and proposed to me. I said yes, the crowd went crazy, the band went wild and i kissed my fiancée. Best wedding proposal ever.”
