On August, 31st 2017 I surprised my girlfriend of over two years with a wedding proposal at a church we attend together. Joy is a piano teacher, so I thought I would teach myself how to play the piano. I had some help from the church band who took it to another level!

After four months of learning & practicing on my own, I was ready to make my move!

Unfortunately, for all the planning I did Joy's brother ruined the surprise 30 minutes before the proposal. Thankfully he didn't know all the details, so that was a positive. Not much of a story to tell. He just didn't approve because Joy & I have an age difference.

I can't say I wasn't devastated that the surprise got revealed, but she still said yes & that's all that matters.

The first song was by Tim Mcgraw, Humble & Kind. I do not own the rights, but I do love the song. My dad passed away when I was 18 & he loved Tim Mcgraw so to me it felt like he was there with us.

The second song was by Charlie Puth, One Call Away. I love this song, but I do not own the rights to this song either. The version I played was doable given my piano experience. Haha.

Hope you enjoyed the story & the video and good luck to all of you looking for ideas for a wedding proposal. Find what's important in both of your lives & that will lead you to the concept that best works for you.
