Valentine's Day Proposal
On February 14th, 2012, I crashed Miss Kristen Conrad's Wedding Singer Act II rehearsal and came out as "Robbie Hart/Adam Sandler" to sing "Grow Old With You."
As a little bit of context, Kristen and I met as college sweethearts at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. While in college, I wrote a duet for the two of us... and just recently wrote this "snapshot" 4-part choral arrangement specifically to enhance the proposal surprise. The students found out about the surprise 5 minutes before I showed up at the school, and learned the difficult harmony in only about a half hour!! Thank you again to those students for making this moment one that we can share for the rest of our lives.
