The Ash Street Proposal
I had sent her a text message one morning touching on the subject but not really getting to the point, simply testing the water. Pointless in hindsight, to the comment "so when we gettin married" that had been persued by Eden several times in the weeks before. Earlier that week Eden had made it quite clear that if I were to propose, e-mail or text message was not the way to go about it. Being me, a big spectacle was my only option. With the Ash Street show only two weeks away, I set upon two of my most trusted friends
Michael and Brew to spread the tale of my master plan to as many as could be told, Eden not to be in the know. The rest of the guys in the band were open to just about anything and agreed to give me part of the bridge of our Al Green inspired "Fade" to pop the question. I did just that, in front of most of our friends, family and staff of the Ash street. Eden later told me that her first thoughts in the moments that I stepped up to the mic were: "are they going to let him sing? oh wait a minute... he's not going to ask me here, now..........he is?!?". And then with all eyes on her and hot sensual Al Green inspired music playing in the background she said "YES". It went off perfectly.
Later the next day I let her pick out the ring, and she got exactly what she wanted. So did I.
Thanks Again to all who were there.
