The Proposal

Saturday March 23, 2019

Michael had known for a long while that Chaunice was the one. He wasn't sure how he was going to propose until one day they were driving and one of Mike's favorite songs, "Shameless" by Garth Brooks, came on the radio. Chaunice looked over to Mike and said, "this song always reminds me of you." Mike knew then he had to do something crazy: propose to Chaunice during this song at a Garth Brooks concert. Garth had an upcoming concert in Phoenix. Michael waited to get tickets and finally was able to score some just 2 days before the big event. They were first row directly behind the stage. He hid the ring and made a sign, which read "Shameless" and sneakily taped a second sign to the back which read "will you marry me?" Mike was nervous as heck. We walked into the stadium and the tickets wouldn't scan. They were fakes. Luckily, the concert wasn't sold out and the group bought new tickets. Mike would deal with the fakes later. The only issue was that these tickets were in the upper deck. Mike was irritated and frustrated with the foil in his plans. Chaunice, completely oblivious, was happy as can be but tried to console Mike. Mike decided to take matters into his own hands and investigate the seats for the fake tickets. Along the way he ran into guest services for the stadium. Using his charm (and perhaps pulling at some heart strings), Mike was able to get new tickets second row next to the stage for him, Chaunice and their friends, Katie and Conner. The concert went on and Chaunice decided she was going to make a run for a bathroom break. Mike terrified that they might miss the moment, started walking with her. Of course, halfway there "Shameless" comes on. Mike grabbed Chaunice's hand and started sprinting back to the seats. They danced and sang near the end of the song, Mike dropped to one knee showed his sign and asked Chaunice to marry him. Chaunice enthusiastically said yes. It was an absolutely amazing way to start their life together.
