******WE'RE ENGAGED!******
On Saturday, November 4th, 2006, there was something exciting that lingered in the air that Faye couldn't quite put her finger on. As the two sped around town, getting furnishings for their new home and enjoying a much-needed day off, Matt would kiss Faye's hand from time-to-time knowing that for the FIRST time, he successfully kept the biggest secret from her.
Unsuspecting of a THING, Faye went to the gym [naturally] and to this day recalls having one of the BEST workouts of her life. Little did she know that while she was pumping iron, Matt was at home nervously talking to David, Faye's father, about his intentions in asking her to marry him.
Once she got home, the two hurried to get ready for an exciting night out! Both Faye and Matt had plans to celebrate friendship with Alexis and Benny that evening! After an awesome waterfront dinner with their close friends, the crew made a toast to the evening, took pictures in front of the NYC skyline and hurried to the bar, where Matt had several tricks up his sleeve!
As Alexis and Faye giddily ordered drinks, Matt was already preparing a round of shots to present to DOG VOICES, a band that was playing that night and happened to be one of Matt and Faye's favorite local music group of guys!! Still having no idea, Faye helped bring shots to the band as they announced for her presence at the stage.
Not detecting anything out of the ordinary, Faye hopped onto the stage as the band began to play a very familiar song. Monte, the lead singer hooked is arm around Faye and sang "Captain Crash and The Beauty Queen From Mars" by Bon Jovi. With stupid grins on their faces, both Matt and Faye sang loud and proud to the rock and roll song they claimed as their own, and made a toast to the large crowd laid out in front of them!
Suddenly, the music came to a stop, and the drums continued to play. Monte made a dedication of the song to "Friends and to the bar" and motioned that Matt had something special to say. Faye, not wanting the song to stop, claimed that Matt had nothing of value to say and insisted that Monte just continue singing. As the crowd roared and screamed, Faye whipped around to exchange confused glances with Matt, only to find him down on one knee.
Completely oblivious, and utterly puzzled, Faye watched as Matt, in rockstar form asked "Faye Michelle Rausch, will you marry me?"
With what felt like several minutes of heart-stopping silence, Faye clamped her hand over her mouth and tried to piece together what the hell just happened.
Trying to help move the process along, Monte asked, "So what's your answer?"
Faye snapped back into reality and exclaimed "YES" as she slid the 1-ct. princess cut Verragio platinum ring onto her left hand and jumped into Matt's arms.
Monte concluded with the rest of the song and the crowd cheered and offered their congratulations as Matt, Faye, Benny and Alexis all traveled to the bar to drink to the spectacular evening
Even though the moment was a blur, the night was absolutely amazing. Both Matt and Faye have settled into their New Jersey place and have announced their July 4th, 2009 wedding day!
