As we embark on the 2010 Wedding Season, Wedding and Party Network is excited to share with the world some amazing love stories that are sure to make your heart flutter! Each month we will be showing off one amazing couple and their love story. If you have a great love story you want the world to know about, send us your information at social@weddingandpartynetwork.com.
Our very first couple is from the great state of Illinois. Chris and Anne Lukeman met at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where they were both very active in the Illini Film and Video group promoting film making! Over the course of four years, Chris and Anne have come shared their love for movies, and film making resulting in one of the most creative, and heartfelt proposals we have ever seen!
Here's their story!
The Proposal
You may recall the movie Quantum of Solace–millions of Bond fans swarmed the theaters to see this film in all it's glory. For Chris and Anne, it was simply the luck of the draw. Chris knew the love for movies that was shared by he and Anne and wanted to propose to her in a way that was not only personal, but unique. Their local theater only had one DVD projector to play his proposal video, and so Chris was left guessing what, and when, he would be able to propose to the love his life, Anne. The choices: Quantum of Solace or Bolt. As he prepared for his evening with Anne, Chris hummed and hawed over what movie they would go see, or even what time.
About two hours before Quantum of Solace began, Chris received the call he had been waiting for—his proposal would air just before Quantum of Solace at the 9:00 showing. As film lovers, Chris and Anne not only go for just the movie, but also for the release of trailers that air before a movie begins. Watchmen, a mutual favorite of Chris and Anne, had a trailer just before Quantum of Solace as well, and what's even more funny is that Chris's proposal interrupted this very preview!
Since these two love birds are huge fans of comic books and graphic novels, this interruption was quite comical for the couple. Because the showing was late, there weren't very many people in the audience. However, those who were there were filled with excitement when Anne said "YES!" Later the couple shared this video online of their amazing night.
See for yourself this amazing video, that Wedding and Party Network had to share!

As for their flowers, they used a local market to create their beautiful bouquets! It's a great way to save money, too! Don't want to do it yourself? Don't worry, there are great florists in the Champaign, IL area too!
