Proposal at the Mutter Museum

Joel Elliott Tucker and Jennifer Lynne Norris become engaged at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia on June 27, 2009 at about 2:30 PM.

In 2005, I was on a date with a girl that I had only just begun to get to know. We went to a medical museum in Philadelphia, the Mutter museum, and the date began in an ordinary fashion. A few minutes into the visit, Jennifer Lynne Norris (my date) fell to the ground and passed out cold. Security was alerted and brought a wheel chair. We wheeled her into the lobby and put her on a couch to rest. I sat there with this girl that I hardly knew and pondered why I felt such a sense of loss when she passed out. Time passed and our relationship grew. Six months into the relationship it became clear to me that this was the girl I would marry. I also decided that the perfect place to propose to her was on the spot where she passed out on that date, because it was at that moment that I realized how precious she was, and would always be, to me. On June 27, 2009, we went back to the spot that changed our relationship. Please view the video of the proposal. It is quiet and reserved like our relationship, so there isnt much to hear, but I wanted to share this video with you, the youtube community. Thanks for watching.

@joelandjennifer1 ,Im sorry,I was ignorant about this place,please acept my deppest apologies for my ignorance.

I just watched discovery's t.v. show about this museum.and I feel ashemed of myself.

the last thing I have to say is : LOVE IS A DISEASE, INCUARBLE.

BEST REGARDS YOU 2.

@comelunch103 It's all good. I really dug the vid you had up on your page today with the string arrangement of Radiohead's first big single. There's also a piano arrangement of their song Paranoid Android out there that's pretty spectacular.

And you're totally right. Love is incurable. =)

sick and wrong,,like most of america has become ,,,,

why people do this kind ashit??

@comelunch103 since you didn't bother to read any explanation, i'll fill you in. We had one of our first dates there, and she passed out from some sort of health issue on the very spot where the proposal took place. It wasn't meant to be any sort of clever "original" stunt. It was a specific location that was significant to our relationship. I agree that most of America is sick and wrong, but I don't see how this situation applies, brother.

I don't get why this is sick and wrong nor how a medical museum is comparable to a "pet cementery" (it's cemetery, BTW) or "her grand mother's grave yard" (I think you meant grave not grave yard and grandmother is totally one word). Mutter represents years of progress in the medical community not just death as you so ignorantly assumed. I doubt that there are many people who have proposed here but am sure that there are some, so maybe not totally original, but totally romantic.
