# A Proposal Never Forgotten – Bobby Brown and Andrea.

 When people propose marriage, they do it in many different ways. But when Bobby Brown did it he did it like no one has seen before. Andrea and Bobby.  It has been a long time coming.  Their story starts out many years ago, EIGHT to be exact, and it all lead up to this momentous Saturday in early June. Bobby and Andrea had planned to spend the entire day together.  Bobby just graduated with his Masters and they were definitely going to celebrate.  And then, they got a phone call…
Mr. Gittelson, the owner of the jewelry store, [Gittelsons](https://gittelsonjewelers.com/), where Andrea had picked out her engagement ring, was calling.  Apparently, while he was on vacation, one of the sales people accidentally sold their ring! He arranged for them to come down to the store and pick out a new one.  Andrea, being her amazingly patient, sweet-self didn't even sweat it.  And so, they went down to the store.

#### Bobby Brown; a proposal like no other

Once they arrived, they chatted and had small talk for a while in the store. Eventually, Gene Gittelson turned to Bobby and said: "***So Bobby, when are you going to give her this ring already?** I**t’s been here since last summer***.”

And Bobby replied,”***You know, Mr. Gittelson, when I give this beautiful lady the ring, I would like to have a violinist play some music. Something beautiful**.” *Little did Andrea know that many of her closest friends and loved ones were waiting around the corner to surprise her. And on the cue of “music”, a violinist appeared playing one of Bobby and Andrea’s favorite songs: [KC and JoJo’s “All My Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXvMT_mVbqw)”.
