In your own words: I got engaged to my favorite song, "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic". My boyfriend Christopher and I have been dating for years now and we finally got engaged on December 22, 2012. First, let me say Christopher is my one true soul mate and I am truly lucky to have found him; the way he proposed to me was perfect, fun and memorable! Christopher’s brother Mark is in a band and they always put on a show around the holiday time. Sting is our favorite musician and Christopher decided to ask the band to learn one of our favorite songs, "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.” Without me knowing about it, they practiced in secret for over a month. On that wonderful night his brother Mark, the drummer, called us up to the stage area, then they started playing that song. I had to make things difficult because I didn’t want to go up front where the crowds of people were standing enjoying the show, but Christopher assured me everyone would make room for us and once we got up there we started dancing and enjoying the song. A few seconds later I started to realize everyone was watching us and even taking pictures of us, which made me think something was going to happen. The lead singer proceeded to sing Sting’s lyrics: "I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day and ask her if she’ll MARRY me in some old fashioned way.” Then when the lead singer said the word "MARRY,” the music stopped and Christopher proceeded to get down on one knee. He presented the most beautiful ring to me, I then exclaimed, "Of course, yes, yes I will marry you,” and then the crowd cheered and clapped hands for us! It was a magical moment and I couldn’t be happier!
