Congratulations

Stephen & Heather

Wedding Date: September 01, 2013 in Ceremony: The Cathedral. Reception: Vie

How They Met: Our circles of friends overlapped, as Stephen (Slash) was a Penn State Rugby player and my friends loved to go to rugby games. We formally met at a bar after a big PSU win and it's been history ever since...

The Proposal: A few months after we moved to Philadelphia, and after over 5 years of dating, Stephen wanted to take me to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Friends from Texas were (supposedly)in town visiting and wanted to do the touristy thing and see Philadelphia so we were to meet them at the Art Museum at 2pm. When we arrived, we asked for directions (even though Stephen knew exactly where we were heading) to the Great Stair Hall of Tapestries where we were to meet our friends. As we climb the stairs I noticed random groups of people sitting around and thought it was peculiar-what is the art museum a hang out now? but didn't think much more of it. When we arrived at the top of the stairs we were looking all around for our friends and after a few minutes a young man standing about 25 feet away starts singing, singing loudly, singing loudly our song "My gift is your song....." and the guy next to him joins in "and this one's for you..." they were singing our song and starring right at me! Then before I know it about 15 people are signing from all over the great stair hall and walking towards us. Stephen drops to one knee and asks "Heather Caitlyn will you marry me? I dropped my purse and almost dropped completely to the floor and then said YES! The amazingly talented acapella group finished singing and the crowd in the art museum congratulated us with a roaring applause. Then, he then took me across the street to WaterWorks for lunch where he surprised me with all of his family and mine to celebrate. I still floating on a cloud. :)

Announce your own wedding.
