Mike & Chelsea Surprise Piano Proposal 12/28/11 - "Bellas Lullaby" & River Flows in You - Twilight

Video footage of our surprise proposal on December 28th, 2011
Aurora University, Crimi Auditorium

Hey everyone, thanks for checking out the video! I thought posting this video online would be a great way to share our proposal with you all. I had taken Chelsea into AU to meet with "an old faculty member". We came in the back entrance to the institute building, where we entered a dark room with music playing in the background. (with friends & family secretly waiting). The lights came up on the stage & there was a grand piano waiting for us.

I played two songs from one her of favorite movies : twilight. "Bella's Lullaby" by Carter Burwell - and "River flows in you" by Yiruma. I appologize in advance for some mistakes, I am not a regular piano player, but overall the "performance" went pretty well! In between songs, the lights on the balcony were turned on revealing our family & friends had been watching the whole time. After playing both songs, I popped the question.

Some dialogue had been cut & moved to shorten the length of the video.

Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Mike & Chelsea
