Surprise Millennium Park Proposal and Serenade – Gabriel & Sueyi
Gabriel’s epic Millennium Park surprise proposal was unlike any other proposal I have captured. When he first described his proposal ideas, so many thoughts ran through my head! How would it work? Would she suspect it? Would we have trouble bringing a karaoke machine into Millennium Park?? He seemed confident that it would all work out, and I was happy to go along for the ride 🙂
Millennium Park Surprise Proposal
To elaborate: Gabriel’s plan was to arrive at Cloud Gate (aka The Bean) with now fiancée Sueyi under the pretense that it was a friend’s birthday get-together. A brass band would begin to play “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” walk toward the two of them, and Gabriel would proceed to take the karaoke mic and serenade her! Channeling his inner Heath Ledger (don’t remember that scene? Here’s a refresher), Gabriel went for it. Sueyi loved it (who wouldn’t?). The performance concluded with a diamond ring (and a resounding YES!!).
Special thanks to Gabriel’s crew for helping coordinate, and Four Star Brass Band for the spot-on accompaniment! And a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Sueyi and Gabriel! Thanks again for having me be a part of this!
