June 21, 2019He showed up on time and was prepared to do just what I asked. It was a short notice affair but he learned 2 new songs for my proposal surprise the next day and she was speechless. It not only brought tears to her eyes but to on lookers who didn't even know us. Her parents are still singing praises a week later. And we plan to rehire him for the reception.
