a couple planned to put on a concert for
their neighbors
but one of them had planned something
else
and now he's making a speech out of it
and
oh my god what's going on yeah
ron and lillian are both musicians and
met through the bands they were playing
in back in 2016.
ron says he knew he wanted to propose to
lillian this year
and got the ring back in january he was
trying to figure out the best way to pop
the question
when the coronavirus crisis hit and
forced
everyone indoors we're gonna play for
our neighborhood so feel free to come
out on your porch or open up a window
[Music]
well then lily was talking with the
neighbors and she had this idea for this
concert
um just just just play out like on our
front steps
for the neighborhood and you know i
instantly thought that oh this would be
great
the couple dragged their instruments and
speakers out onto their front porch to
play a set for their neighbors
lillian also live streamed the concert
for family and friends
they played for about an hour
but just as lillian was trying to stop
the stream
ron stepped in okay
well yep so it seems like we are now
finished
hey i need to rush down there too to
stop me from saying goodbye to the
cameras
yeah because it wasn't quite over yet
there was one more thing
it was a third act no one saw coming
i just thought it was it i just wanted
to say goodbye to all our friends and
family and
anybody that we didn't know who was
watching and then he kept saying oh i
love you
and your wonderful partner and i was
like okay
well you're being gross my favorite
person
and i love you mary what the heck
when lillian realized what was going on
she didn't think it was
gross anymore and happily accepted will
you
marry me yes yes i will
good thing since they're going to be
stuck in the house together for a while
i think especially now since we're
engaged i'm
especially happy to to shelter in place
with ron
like you're stuck with me and this is
great
we all have a lot to look forward to
when this crisis is over
but this couple has a little something
extra to celebrate
i just got engaged
