George, when you came into the picture,
I knew you were something special.
You two just seemed to work effortlessly together.
I knew something was up
when Jennifer started telling me stories about "Jim George."
♪ I tried to be the hero for a day ♪
You're just so great!
Jennifer is one of the hardest working people I know.
After starting med school,
she began to go to the gym almost everyday at 5:00 a.m.
And yes, this is gonna be about how Jennifer and George met.
I exercised and lifted by myself,
while George was this muscular alpha male.
One morning, at 5:30 a.m,
he decided to go for a personal best in his bench press.
I happened to be the only person in the gym
below 45 years old that morning,
so he approached me and said,
"Hey, I'm gonna go for a personal record of 365 pounds,
and I need you to spot me."
♪ So I turned in my ego ♪
Hey George, are you nervous?
No he's good.
And I said, "Are you sure?
I don't think I can help you with that much weight."
And he said, "You got it, I don't need that much help."
♪ It all starts with breathing you in ♪
♪ Breathing you in deeply ♪
♪ I've been drowning under my skin ♪
♪ No one but you can save me ♪
He said, "Just remember, don't touch the bar
until I ask for help."
He unracks the weight and lowers it to his chest.
So far so good.
He then starts to press the weight
and he gets it about half way up
and then suddenly I see an ominous pause.
And then the bar starts going down towards his chest.
At this point, I instinctively reached out to the bar
to give him a boost.
Then suddenly I remembered his instructions.
Don't touch the bar until I ask for help.
♪ My weakness is my honor not my shame ♪
For the next 10 seconds
I just stood there starring at George.
Lying there with 365 pounds on his chest.
I was waiting for him to give me instructions.
His face turned red, and then purple,
and then a tiny squeak came from his lips.
Help.
Eventually a few of the other older dudes at the gym
rushed over and together we lifted the weight
off of his chest.
He sprung up from the bench and then said,
"Why didn't you help me, I could have died."
♪ I was frantic till you changed the pace ♪
Then he stormed out.
I think he was trying to say that he liked me.
♪ You won't give me more than I can take ♪
George and I started talking much more after that
and we soon became gym buddies and then schoolmates.

When they invited me to their home
to help them practice their wedding dance this past week,
I overheard him say that he loves
seeing Jennifer smile and laugh
and that she was so cute.
The way he looked at her
as they tried out the fancy steps and turns
of their ballroom routine
was like something out of a fairytale.
This was evidence to me
that Jennifer will always be wealthy
for she is a priceless gem
and she found a man with a heart of gold.

Also, now I only listen to his instructions
about 50% of the time.
George, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
