John went all out when it came to proposing to Kelly. He told her he was going to California to shoot a movie for a couple of days. He even had her drive him to the airport… but a few minutes later a friend picked him up from the same airport. Then, with help from Kelly’s friends and coworkers, he set up a teacher training seminar that she was supposed to attend that was, of course, fake. Everyone else who attended were actors, and there were props and everything… until the presentation began, and it was a movie starring none other than John.

This whole proposal is worth watching. John went to great lengths to make it fun and creative, and included Kelly’s dad in the film and what we assume was him (John) asking for his (Kelly’s dad’s) permission to marry his daughter. However, if you want to skip ahead, John emerges after the video around 9:00 to do the actual getting-down-on-one-knee-bit.

If you watch the video and don’t laugh and cry, don’t judge me because I did both!
