Peter and Kate started talking about marriage and looking at rings just six months into their relationship. Peter hadn’t officially proposed yet, and they were already planning the wedding.

So how do you propose when she knows it’s coming? Please take a lesson from Peter.

He told her they were meeting with their minister, but first he had to pick some sheet music up for a friend. He sat down at the piano, told her he knew the piece, and started to place. She wasn’t phased, she was used to this kind of thing… but then the whole orchestra filed into the room.

Kate thought they were imposing on a rehearsal, until she noticed they were all wearing black. The orchestra played through the romantic climax of the piece, then carefully filed out once again, leaving the couple alone. The music starts around 1:25.

Having a past in music, I am admitting now that this made me cry. As soon as the orchestra came into the room, there were tears in my mind. How amazing to use music in this way. I hope they danced to this song at their wedding.
