MR JOLLY, hi. :) this is one of your costumers from. . . Bear and the Big Blue house, B &B and waaayy too many others to count. How the heck are ya? where the heck are ya ?
I have told sooo many people about this wedding proposal. thanks for posting it.
I've suddenly realized that when this vid was first posted, only my Disney family of friends knew of the back-story. As more 'youtubers' view this, I feel the story needs a little more explanation to completely understand. This all took place on the afternoon of May 3rd, 1998. I arrived at the Beauty & the Beast Stage at the Disney/MGM Studios for the next-to-last show of the day. My girlfriend (now my wife) was a dancer there, and I was...well,...not a dancer. ;)
It was my day off, and I showed up to tell her that I was taking her out to a nice dinner after the show. So I hung out in the greenroom with her until call time, and when she went to go get ready for the show…so did I!
Prior to that day I had pre-approved this idea with the stage manager, secretly rehearsed the waltz scene with a few dancers, arranged for her exact track schedule for the show, and had a costume fitting. The way the rest of the moment happened, was pure Disney Magic!
The show played normally from beginning to end as it always had, until the grand waltz number at the end. Unbeknownst to her, I was hidden backstage awaiting an entrance I had arranged with one of the dancers. The girls separate from their partners for a small section of the waltz, and when they partner back up,…she was face-to-face with me! We danced and finished the show, and no one in the audience noticed the switch. (Nor did the rest of the dancers onstage.)
After it was all over, there was supposed to be exit music for everyone to leave the stage…it never came up. Instead, they turned up the volume on the wireless mic I had been outfitted with, and I addressed the audience. I said a few romantic things, got down on one knee, and asked the woman of my dreams to marry me. In front of a packed house of about 1500 people, she said yes! The rest, as they say, is history. We were married a year later on May 15th, 1999.
The rest, as they say, is history. We were married a year later on May 15th, 1999. Our engagement story truly parallels our married life together. It’s been beautiful, romantic, magical, and a lovely dance. We’ve been married ten years now, and even though our lives are not everything you read in fairy tales, I think it’s safe to say that we really are living happily ever after.
A few "points of interest" to look out for as you watch.
None of the girls are wearing gloves. A quick lie was made that one pair was ripped so all girls had to go without. (So the ring could be placed on her finger.)
Heidi enters at 00:38. The camera stays on her for the rest of the vid.
The 'swap' (my entrance) takes place at 2:00 on the right side of the screen.
Heidi's priceless expression as we waltz is at 2:14.
Heidi'd OMG moment at 3:18 followed by schoolgirl glee at 3:24.
Happy, happy 10th anniversary, Heidi and David! Thanks for sharing this magical beginning of your life together. Best wishes to you and little Sprout! Love, Gina
Wow that was amazing! I can't believe this is the first time I've seen this, so romantic! Congratulations on 10 years Heidi & David, you have a beautiful family and a lifetime of happiness ahead of you! Love, Katie
Without a doubt one of the top 10 GREATEST proposals of all time! Congratulations to you both on 10 years, the Wells' wish you many many more years of happiness and joy.
Not only this this proposal captured on film, but it is magical, beautiful and sooooooooooo romantic. You both are so amazing together. congrats on you 10 yr anniversary and blessing for eternity. ---Tiana
You guys are so cute! That is the best proposal ever. Also, Beauty and the Beast happens to be one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, so I got a little misty-eyed. *Buzzer* haha!
Melissa, Court, and I watched this from our hotel room in California and we were all in tears! I remember hearing this story from Heidi and can't believe we got to see it! wow! Congrats on 10 years and a beautiful little boy!
What an amazing proposal! May your lives continue to be filled with magic and wonder. Congratulations and here's to many more fairy tale moments. ~Geri Weinbaum
