Mystery solved.
The Daily Reveille reported Monday that an unknown man proposed to his girlfriend with the help of a student band at Reggie’s Bar.
The lucky girl, animal science and technology junior Kellsey Fenley, said the couple has been dating for about four years.
“I had no idea what was going on,” she said. “I saw him waving at the band, and then all of a sudden he was on stage, and I heard my name being called.”
Her fiancé, Baton Rouge native Tyler Varnado, recently joined the Army and wanted to propose before he left for basic training Tuesday.
Varnado said he hadn’t planned to pop the question at the bar but got the idea when he saw the band on stage.
“I knew I was going to do it anyway, so I thought, ‘Why not?'” he said.
The next morning, Varnado made sure Fenley knew he was serious by cooking her breakfast and hiding her engagement ring in a pancake.
Fenley said the couple will begin planning the wedding when Varnado returns from basic training in 16 weeks.
