Max took Erica (for
her birthday) and her parents (for their anniversary) to an Off-Broadway
Play in NYC, 'I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.' Towards
the end of the play, Max excused himself as he was complaining
about stomach pains all day..., he never returned??? At the end
of the play, the cast of four came out for their final curtain
call and began to speak to the audience. In the middle of their
speech, one of the cast members pointed down to Erica and asked,
'Where did the guy that was sitting next to you go? Was his name
Max Resnick?' Erica dumbfounded, did not say a word... with that,
Max walked out from behind the curtain with a long stem red rose
in one hand and a box in the other. Erica was full of confusion
and emotion as she saw Erica, Max's sister, who sneaked in during
the second act along with Max's parents, taking pictures from
her left, and her mother, (who had been carrying around a camera
for the past 2 weeks since Max had asked Erica's parents their
permission) from the right. Max walked to the front of the stage
and tossed the rose to Erica who was sitting in the second row
and said: 'This may be a little sooner than you expected, but
when you meet the person you want to spend the rest of your life
with, you want that life to begin as soon as possible. Ever since
I met you I've been smiling, and I don't ever want to stop. You're
the most intelligent, loving, caring, witty, and beautiful person
I know. I love everything about you, you 're perfect in every
way, and no matter what these people say, I never want you to
change. I promise to honor, love, and make you smile the rest
of our lives together. Erica Scotto, will you marry me?' Max
then came down from the stage... there was a standing ovation
from the crowd... and eventually a yes from Erica.... |
