Well Holy Crap, Y'all
I'm getting married.
JonJon proposed. And he did it in a big way.
As you may know, we have both been involved with A Christmas Carol at the Savoy. (I was stage manager and later took over the part of the charwoman who steals Scrooge's stuff once he dies and JonJon was Fred - Scrooge's nephew.)
Sunday was our last show and it was also mine and JonJon's 5th anniversary. AWWWWW.
I suspected nothing.
After the play, during curtain call, Scrooge steps forward and is all like. "Everyone please hold on, there is something special we have to do." I assume he is going to call Brian - the director - up, so he can be acknowledged. Then Greg (Scrooge) says "I'd like to call a member of the cast forward if I may, Adrienne could you come up in front please?" So I do and I am still assuming it's for some reason like thanking me for taking of the part of the charwoman on short notice and still being the stage director or something like that. Then he calls JonJon forward as well and says that JonJon has something to say.
This is about where I say "Oh Shit" and then he gets on one knee and I cry...I cry a lot...there is stage make up running down my face. I don't really remember a lot after that. I know I was happy when the curtains FINALLY closed and then there was white wine in Tim Horton's cups out of no where and there is a lot of hugging. One of the little Cratchits asked to be a bridesmaid. My dad approved (he was also in the play) but told JonJon he lost out on his goat dowry by not asking first. Um my mom was stage crew so she was also there and she was uber huggy. It's so weird that it happened in front of so many people....but he did it beautifully.
Also, since it happened in front of an audience I have been sent some pictures of it happening. I don't have any really good ones yet but I do have a blurry one that showcases the hilarity of what I was wearing contrasted to what JonJon was wearing....as we were still in costume clearly. And yes, I do have a picture of my ring my FABULOUS SHINEY RING!!!!! and yes I am wearing a Dropkick Murphys shirt with it. That is because I am awesome.
Ok I'm not so awesome, because I dunno how to put pictures in....when JonJon gets home I'll make him edit it for me to add the pictures. heh, he really IS useful!!
