“She said yes!”
That’s what the crowd cheered at Reggie’s Bar on Friday night after one brave man proposed to his girlfriend on stage.
Mason Triay, biology sophomore and vocalist for The Free Drinks, the band playing at the bar that night, said he was on stage when he noticed someone waving to him from the crowd.
He checked with his bandmate, civil engineering sophomore Paul Wedig.
“This guy asked if he could make an announcement,” he said. “I told Paul, ‘This guy wants to propose on the stage,’ and he said, ‘Well, let him!'”
Triay, who couldn’t remember the names of the couple, quieted the crowd and let the mystery man take the stage.
The man then called his girlfriend up to the stage and proposed to her in front of the crowd. Triay said he didn’t have a ring but still seemed excited about the opportunity.
“He seemed kind of nervous,” Triay said. “So I whispered to him to get down on one knee, and I handed him the mic.”
Triay said the romantic event added to the excitement of the night.
“We were already happy to be playing,” he said. “This was kind of the icing on the cake.”
