Corey's a drummer in a band. We met in Marching Band way back when (he was in 8th grade, I was in 9th). Music has always been a part of who we are.
This past November, his rock band, Hero, decided to come play a show at a local bar in Elon. They had played there before, so I thought nothing of it. I kept telling all of my sisters to come, and a lot of them were asking me about it. I convinced a lot of people to go, and I thought I was an amazing girlfriend
My best friend from home called his cell phone when he was at my apartment before the show, and I answered. She covered quickly with "Oh, I was calling my friend Charity, I must have gone too far in my phone's address book." When I got to the bar a few hours later, she was there! She said she and her friend decided to get in the car to come hear the show. My little (who transferred to UGA) was also there. She told me she was in town for her former suitemate's birthday. I totally bought all of this.
Halfway through the show, Corey got up to sing. He doesn't have a good singing voice, so I was wondering why he was singing. I thought he was just being cute and romantic, but the last line of the song, he (and everyone else in the bar) yelled "Will you marry me?" as he got down on one knee. I have never been so speechless in my entire life. I sobbed and said yes, of course. Apparently Corey had sent a CD of the song and the whole plan to my roommates, and they in turn emailed all our sisters and my other friends at school. It was the best day of my life
