Hey all, Date2Church plus my fiance here. I guess it's about time we posted something huh?
I don't know where to begin, except to say that the evening of Saturday May 15 has to go down in the history books as maybe the best night of my life - on a lot of different levels!
First of all - I GOT ENGAGED to my best friend.
Second of all Paul MF Westerberg helped me do it.
Third of all EVERYONE I met that night was unbelievable! (you seven know who you are!)
I'm still floating around 'bout three feet off the ground.
For those who haven't yet had the lowdown, here's the short version.
I was gonna propose to my girlfriend of five years Saturday night AT the show.
I had been in contact with his agent in the weeks prior to the show to see if Paul would play "Born for Me" at the show. He got my request. His answer was and I quote "Hmmmmm..."
He didn't play it at the show.
Later that night I called him and said that I was gonna do this proposal thing with or without him, so if he was inclined to come, we'd be acrosss from the elevators. I said it in an inviting and very non-confrontaional way - I'm a loving and happy drunk! His response was and I quote " I dunno, maybe we'll come up in a little while.
A half hour later- with I believe GtrPlyer and Goodo playing "Skyway" I knelt down by my girl who was sitting in a chair (unblivious of what was going to happen) said.
"Paul was supposed to help me with this, but here goes...
You were born for me, and I was wondering how you felt about growing old and dying with me. I wanted to know if you'd be my wife."
After seeing the ring, she just kept repeating "Are you serious?!" to which, with eyes flooding, I kept repeating "Yes I'm serious!"
We were gettin' a liitle histerical at that point, so we went out to get some privacy a little fresh air.
We were standing in the elevator foyer holding each other and wrapping our heads around the past minutes events when I heard a knock at the stiarwell door.
Paul MF Westerberg!
The rest is history - the most amazing night of my life!
