Mike Proposes to Christie

On November 26, 2011 I proposed to my girlfriend Christie.
To make the occasion memorable, I hired the amazing Michael McGillivray to arrange several of 'our' songs for a string quartet. Then, with much assistance from Ted Nagy and the Detroit Music Hall, I was able to set a very romantic scene that she and I won't soon forget. Especially because our good friends Kyle Obriot and Aleks Tomaszewska were there to film the whole thing.
Now, the moment that took six months of patience and planning is presented here as a 3-minute document of what can happen when you finally get the girl of your dreams.

"You Can Never Hold Back Spring" (Tom Waits) &

Special thanks to Michael McGillivray, Ted Nagy, M.L. Liebler, and Motif Jewelers. And Christie Kocsis for saying 'yes'.

Very sweet. I also have to give props for the mustache haha. One of the few guys who can wear one.

[kandifan11]

My lord his moustache and side-burns remind me of the old times...

@4863440 How do you know he's not involved with an "Old Timey Bare Knuckle Fight Club.". Not that I'm saying one exists or not.

[4863440]

it's always a safe bet to wear a handlebar mustache - you never know when you might get drawn into an old timey bare knuckle boxing match
