THE PROPOSAL VIDEO
OUR STORY
My fiance Susan and I have been long-distance dating for over a year and a half, and I have known for a long time that she is the love of my life. It has been hard being apart for months at a time, and I wanted to prove my commitment to her for life and finally be together always.
Now I just wanted to put a ring on it!
THE PLAN
One of the first wishes Sue ever told me was that she wanted her life to be like a musical, and that she dreamed of her proposal most of all. I want to do anything I can to make her wishes and dreams come true.
Sue's favourite musical is 'RENT' which I hadn't seen, so I watched and picked my favourite song from the show, 'Seasons of Love', and then re-wrote the lyrics to be more personal to us. I named the song 'Forever Love' and decided to flash mob her at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles with all of her friends.
THE SURPRISE
I really wanted to surprise Sue for the proposal, and for her to not see it coming. But I wanted to ask her family for permission first, and to have all her friends and loved ones there to help me make it happen.
That was the hardest part of putting this all together, trying to keep this big event secret from the woman I love and tell everything to. We speak on Skype every day, use Facebook all the time, and just always want to know about each other's lives.
So to fly over to LA from London and pretend I'm still there was quite a challenge! But Sue's reaction made it worth it! I'm a lucky man
