Marriage Proposal on stage @ Elvis Costello Spectacular Spinning Songbook, Boston 2011

(What's so Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding? My mom got engaged on stage thinking she was going up to spin the wheel for a song. Thanks, Elvis!

Wish I could say that I know Elvis, or even know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows Elvis. All I did was call the theater and ask that a message get to Elvis via his tour manager. She called me back from her cell phone and we took it from there. The bride-to-be was simply told arrangements had been made for us to be chosen to spin the wheel. So she went up expecting to spin....

-Mike, the happy groom-to-be :)

This seems so right at an Elvis gig. Not cheesy, it works beautifully as it's beyond show biz. Lovely video.

Good on you, mate. Utterly romantic and brilliant. I wish you two a lifetime of happiness.

Yesterday he mentioned you in Brussels as well. Best show I saw in years. Elvis rules.

Elvis mentioned you two in sunny Bournemouth, England last night. I hope she still rocks your world and you are still loved up. What a guy!!!!!!

Saw the spinning songbook tour last night in Melbourne, FL. Elvis retold your story...almost a year later! Congrats.

Im not saying you are, but what you just said makes you sound like a total asshole.

[Marc Rollins]

He makes me laugh with such mirth... I love it.
