It was Friday, December 19, 2009. Chip and I were at our favorite hang out, Rogues waiting for Karaoke to begin. I slowed noticed that many of our friends from all different parts of town began to arrive. This was highly unusual but I regarded it as a happy coinsidence.
When it was my turn to sing, I made my way to the stage and began my rendition of 99 Red Balloons. Thirty seconds into the song, the music stopped. Somewhat annoyed, I asked our dear Karaoke host, Dan, what was going on? When I received no response, Chip came from around the corner singing, with no music, "You've lost that lovin' feeling". His own remake of an unforgettable scene in the movie Top Gun. Still not quite sure what is happening, I watched him make his way to me on the stage as the entire bar joins him in the song. He drops to his knees and asks me to be his forever! I would later find out that all of our friends were in on it and our families were anxiously waiting by their phones knowing full well what was happening. It was an amazing night that neither of us will ever forget.
