A first-person rehearsal/monologue for a planned restaurant wedding proposal. The speaker (Alexander Ma) describes staging (hidden cameras, positioning of guests, waiter cue, violin accompaniment), expresses love and excitement for his partner, references six years together, and recites a short love poem as part of the proposal.
Here I am at a restaurant. You think I'm at school, but I'm not. And I'm actually over here rehearsing because I want to make this the most special and perfect moment for you. Leanna's gonna come over here. I'm gonna be set up in these little four squares. I'm at the heart. You guys are gonna stand in that corner. Liana's family's gonna stand in that corner, and then it's gonna happen right here. I have a video team waiting with hidden cameras waiting for us and hiding at another table. I'm gonna have the waiter, Nicole, go and grab you and lead you over here, and I'm gonna be suited up, looking good. I knew you wanted something very intimate. Seeing the lights in the background, seeing the restaurant, and having just that beautiful violin in the background. I want this moment to be special because you're so special to me. This whole process that I've been going through with telling my parents, telling your sisters, it's been so much fun. I just can't wait for this to be done so that we can experience this together. It's going to be perfect for you. She thinks I'm in the restroom. She thinks my stomach hurts. I was like, I'll be right back. I'm excited. I'm really excited. I'm a little nervous. My mouth's a little dry, but she's just looking around, gonna go, Sam, I love you so much. We've been together for six years, and it's been so amazing. Every single day, we have learned to love each other more and more every day. And it's not even a cliche. We both mean it. And I know together we're gonna be a tag team. It's gonna be so amazing. We're gonna be a power team for Christ, and we're just gonna worship and love each other so much. I'm so excited. I love you, too. I just want you to know that you're so special to me and that we're gonna have the greatest life together. Anyways, so in high school, I wrote you a little cheesy love poem to get you to go out with me for the first time. But it works. And they always say, stick to what works. So I wrote you a little love poem. Roses are red, violets are blue. Make me the happiest man in the world and say, I do. Leona and Jessica Salza, will you marry me? Take that ring off forever. I.
