Hey everyone, its Lucie Fink. Welcome back to my YouTube channel! As promised by the
title, this video is going to be a "Fiancé Does My Voiceover" video... so, starting
right NOW, you're gonna hear Michael's voice on top of my mouth movements. You
seemed very interested in our five-year long distance relationship video, so I
decided to sit down and make another video telling you the entire story of
how Michael asked me to prom in high school. As you might know from my
previous videos, we're currently engaged and we've been dating for over ten years.
So yes, we did go to high school prom together... TWICE. Once when Michael was a
senior, and then once when I was a senior, when he was a freshman in college. So,
without further ado... here's the story of how Michael asked me to his senior prom.
If you did watch our five-year long distance relationship video, you might
have gotten a little taste of it then... Our relationship was not love at first
sight. At least on my end. On Michael's end it
was... He loved me at first sight. But on my end, it definitely took me a little bit
of time to really fall in love with Michael... and so we were friends for a while first.
I kind of glazed over these details in the long-distance video... so now I'm gonna
tell you ALL. THE DIRTY. DETAILS. When we first met a couple of years before all
of this, Michael claims that he was immediately attracted to me. He saw my
hair from the back one day in the library and he thought: "I want to know
that girl." He connected with me on AIM messenger, shot me a message, started
talking to me... and before long, the two of us became friends. We would stay up
really late, pretty much every single night, talking to one another... and we were
forming a real deep friendship. Throughout this time, though, Michael was
interested in a romantic relationship, so he actually asked me out a bunch of times...
The issue that I had with this is the way he phrased it. In my eyes, if I was gonna
start dating someone, it would probably start with a kiss, that led to a series
of kisses... that led to us starting to date. Michael kinda wanted to cut to the
chase, and he just asked me over and over again: "Will you be my girlfriend?" That
kind of felt like the way I was doing things in third grade... where you really
just jumped to being someone's girlfriend right away, and then you hold
hands in the hallway. That's not how I wanted things to go in high school. And
the truth is... I was just not attracted to Michael at first. I saw him as a great
friend, and we really did have deep, deep conversations, pretty much every single
night... sometimes until 3 in the morning... but I didn't want to date him. I didn't
want to be his girlfriend right off the bat... so I just kept saying "no". The problem
is though... I was a little bit of a tease. So, Michael continued to ask
me to be his girlfriend, even though I was saying no. I was sending him some
mixed signals... There were a couple times when we were hanging out when I would
think "hmm... maybe I DO want to kiss him..." So I would kiss him, just to try it, and then
he'd go in for another kiss and I'd say "Eh... nah... I don't want to." Kind of rude,
right? I feel really bad about it. In this time period of us being friends, I
remember Michael said something to me along the lines of: "When I'm a senior and
it's time for me to start asking someone to prom, if I don't have a girlfriend,
maybe I'll take you to prom..." I thought that was so nice, and I would have loved
to go to prom with him. And even though I wasn't reciprocating and starting up a
relationship with him, I still really liked the idea of going to prom with him...
even if it was just as a friend. So, ultimately, I think that this pursuit
eventually became a little bit too much for Michael. He was asking me out all the
time... I continued to say no... His heart was starting to get broken. So he made a
commitment to himself, along with a strong mandate from his parents, that he
was no longer gonna pursue me. In fact, he needed to take a little bit of a break
from being my friend. I remember when he said this to me, and he came to me and
said "Lucie, I like you too much. You're not reciprocating. I think we need
to take a break from being friends." and I looked back at him and I said: "Michael,
that's totally fine! If that's what you need, take your time!" So Michael did just
that, and took his time away from me. This all happened around the middle of his
senior year, around the middle of my junior year. The moment that he stopped being
all over me was the moment that I started to think "Hmm...
Maybe he's attractive..." It was kind of the classic case of the high school girl who
doesn't like a guy when he likes her, but the moment he doesn't like her... she
starts to like him. I know, it's a classic high school cliché... Sorry about it. But
that's kind of exactly how it happened. So the moment that he eased up was the
moment that I started to become a little bit more interested in what was going on
with him. So, now let's fast forward a couple months... We haven't spoken for that
whole time period, and finally Michael reaches out to me and says: "I think I'm
just about ready to be your friend again and to add you back into my life... Do you
want to hang out on Friday?" And the answer was "YES I wanna hang out with you
on Friday... I've been missing you a ton, as a friend!" So we're looking forward to
hanging out all week... and on the Thursday night before that Friday when we were
scheduled to hang out, I HAD A DREAM. And this is the dream that it's written
about in our engagement song... it's the dream that I've talked about in a couple
of other videos... but essentially, I had a dream where I kissed Michael, and it felt
very different from anything I had ever experienced. It was like, in my dream my
subconscious was showing me that I could see him in this romantic light... The kiss
was great. So I woke up on Friday morning and I thought "Maybe I should kiss him
today..." I remember being in school on Friday and I saw him in the library and
we made eye contact, and it was just this weird, electric buzzing in the middle of
the high school library, where I was looking at him and I was thinking "I'm
gonna make a move on you tonight..." but I was also like "Why am I feeling this way?
I had a dream and I'm looking at you in a very different light..." SO. This is where
the story gets fun. It's Friday after school. I'm heading to
my car to drive home... And, I'm gonna be honest, it crossed my mind,
"Maybe he'll still ask me to prom... I mean, I know that I can't really expect that...
because we haven't spoken for two months, and I did reject him about six times... but
he did tell me that if he didn't have a girlfriend then maybe he'd asked me to
prom... so maybe he's gonna do that today..." I put it out of my mind pretty quickly, and
I ran into my friend on the way to my car. My friend asked me where I was going and
what I was up to that weekend, and I told her "Actually, I'm hanging out with
Michael tonight, for the first time in two months..." to which her response was: "OH...
Did you hear... He asked (blank) to prom!" I look at my friend, and if I'm being totally
honest with you, all of YouTube, my heart sank. I know that
it was really rude of me to assume that he still would have asked me to prom
after all that went down... but, I don't know, I still kind of felt like it was
maybe a possibility... and now I was finding out from my friend that he had
already asked someone else to prom. But we had plans to hang out anyway, so I get
in my car and I drive home. And very soon, Michael pulls up in the driveway and he
comes inside. He comes to my bedroom, we're just hanging out, the door's open,
and we're just catching up from basically two months of not speaking... And
my dad walks into the room. So, a little side-note... Something you should know here
is that my dad is a radio DJ. He's been on New York radio stations since the
1970s, and pretty much for my entire upbringing, he was on
the radio in my local town. He walks in, he comes into the room, he turns on my
radio and he basically says to me... (which was totally normal for the time...) "I'm
turning on the radio... At 4:05 p.m. there's gonna be a little sound bite of
you that pops up... I found a really old recording of you... I play it at 4:05 p.m.
so just keep the radio on so you don't miss it." And I guess it's important for
me to tell you that these days a lot of radio is pre-recorded. So most of the
time my dad goes to the station, pre-records his whole show, and then he's
actually at home when he's on the air. He turns on the radio and then he walks out
of the room and closes the door behind him, and I'm just in there with Michael.
This is the moment when I thought: "I'm really into it...
I'm feeling it. We're here. We're together. I know he already asked (blank) to prom... That
means nothing to me, though... because I'm starting to feel it and I'm just gonna
follow my heart." So... I kiss him. It was an electrical kiss. (I just said that line
because I wanted to hear Michael's voice say it...) But really, it was an electrical kiss.
We're sitting on the bed... we're kissing for a few minutes... It feels different
from anything that's ever happened between us. I'm starting to get really
excited... And then all of a sudden, I hear my dad's voice on the radio. So we
stop kissing. My dad comes on the radio and he starts talking about me, his
daughter, and how he found this old recording of me... blah-blah-blah-blah-blah...
And we're listening... (For this part, I'm gonna put my dad's voice-over to show you what
he sounded like...) He said: "My daughter Lucie's really good friend, Michael Morris,
is the captain of the Scarsdale High School baseball team, and he's currently
in our house right now. And, Lucie... Michael has a question for you." Now I'm like: "WHAT
is GOING ON?" I look at Michael, and the next thing I know, I hear Michael's voice
on the radio... (Now, for this part I'm gonna actually play the recording of what
Michael said on the radio...) "Hey Lucie, it's Michael. Obviously, you mean so much to me.
And with that in mind, I'd like to ask you... Will you go to prom with me?" And the
best part is, he even picked a song that was one of our favorite songs...
"I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz... and as soon as that question came up at the end, the
song started playing... so it actually sounded more like this: "Hey Lucie, it's
Michael. Obviously, you mean so much to me. And with that in mind, I'd like to ask
you... Will you go to prom with me?" So nice. So nice. (Taking a quick break and
going back to my normal voice to let you know that this video is sponsored by

Michael... SO CONFUSED, for SO many reasons. First and foremost, HOW were you just on
the radio? Secondly, didn't you already ask (blank) to prom?! He laughed in my face and
he said to me: "I intentionally told your friend that because I know she has a big
mouth, and I knew she would tell you, and I wanted to throw you off." And throw me
off it did. And pretty much from that day forward, Michael and I have been together.
There was actually one short break that we took where we broke up momentarily... So
if you want to learn more about that I put it in this video, where I talk about
our long distance relationship... I do wish Michael had been here for the telling of
that whole story... because, who knows, he might have told it differently.
Unfortunately, he's been at business school events all day... but as soon as we
get home from dinner tonight, I'll turn on the camera and I'll make sure to give
him a chance to say what he needs to say. That's the story of how Michael asked me
to prom, and I'll see you tonight!
We just came back from dinner, and LOOK WHO'S HERE!
