“Hey guys!” you spoke into the camera, smiling wide. Everyone had arced up behind you, starting with Damien on your left and ending with Courtney on your right. “So you may have noticed that we aren’t in our regular recording spaces and that is because today, we’re at Disney!”
You paused so you all could cheer together, allowing everyone to show their excitement as a group. The whole group started to splinter off into their quote-unquote designated groups. “Keith and Noah aren’t with us today, sadly, as they both are off visiting their respective families. We do, however, have me and Damien, Courtney, Olivia and Sarah, and Shayne and Ian. Every time you said a group, you panned over to where they stood where they waved to the camera.
Courtney walked up close to the camera and spoke softly to the lens. “We’re gonna have a fun time and we’re gonna share it with all of you guys!”
You laughed as Courtney retreated back into her group before setting the camera to watch what’s in front of you.
After taking a few shots of the park and ending up in front of the castle, you stopped the group. “Hey,” you panned the camera over to Shayne. “Do you remember when Keith and Courtney got engaged here and you said it was a bad idea?”
Shayne gave you a look that read something along the lines of, ‘Don’t you dare do what I think you’re going to do.’
“We should do that again!”
The girls up front chimed in, voicing their opinions that it was a good idea while Ian and Shayne shared odd looks with Damien.
Damien cleared his throat and perked up as if an idea had come to him. “That’s a great idea! Who’s going to propose to whom?”
Olivia held up her arm, pointing it to the sky. “I know!” She lowered her hand and pointed it towards you and Damien. “You and Damien should, for sure!”
You laughed at the thought, nodding along. “Okay, we gotta go get a ring though.”
“So it’s been a few hours and the park has really started to fill up.” Damien swung the camera around to face himself. “I’m with Shayne and Ian right now and we actually have a secret to share with you guys.”
Shayne moved into frame, holding up a red velvet box and popped it open for the camera to see. “I’ve been lugging this ring around for about a month for Damien and he was actually going to propose today. The girls are off getting their own lunch and we went off to the castle.”
Ian took the camera from Damien so that it would look at him. “Honestly, I had no idea any of this was going to happen today.”
“Yeah,” Damien said off-screen. “Ian’s the only clueless one in this situation.”
“Anyways,” Shayne pulled the camera away from Ian and refocused on himself. “The girls went off to get a fake ring to give to Damien so he can propose later but that’s not gonna be the ring she’ll get. This time, it won’t be a bad idea.”
“This time it’ll also be for real,” Damien smiled. “And babe, if you’re watching this later, which will probably be during notes now that I think about it. But if you say no, I will cry. Fair warning has been given.”
“We’re here in front of the castle again, waiting for Damien, Shayne, and Ian to get back from their lunch.” You had the camera focused on yours and Courtney’s faces. Olivia and Sarah were in the background, talking to each other. “We bought the ring and it’s kinda cute, I’m not gonna lie.”
You showed the twenty dollar ring off to the camera, allowing the sun to catch off the gem on it. “It’s a really cheap material for a really expensive brand.”
Olivia and Sarah walked over, both excited for what’s to come. “They’re coming!”
You passed the ring over to Sarah and she walked over to Damien, passing the ring over.
When the boys reached you, Shayne took the camera and Damien slung an arm around your shoulders. He pressed a kiss into your hair and started your walk to the center of the compass in front of the castle. We stopped there and he took both my hands.
“I know this is a prank proposal but I do want you to know that I really love you. The past five years together have been the best five years I’ve had in my life. You’ve been there with me through thick and thin, from whenever I struggled with my own body image to when I’ve struggled with my own mental state, you’re always patient and I love you for that.” He looked down before looking back up into your eyes that had already started to water.
“I love you and I want to be able to spend the rest of my life with you. To have children and grow old together.” He got down on one knee just as the tears threatened to blur your vision. He pulled out a red velvet box and held it out in front of him.
“Now, I know this isn’t the ring that Sarah gave me, but I hope you’ll still accept it.”
By now, a crowd had formed around you two. So many people were sharing this moment with you and you were crying.
He flicked open the box to reveal a gorgeous ring that reflected in the sunlight. “Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?”
You sobbed out a yes and pulled him up into a kiss. Everyone around you two cheered as you pulled away, still sobbing. He slid the ring onto your finger and pulled you in for a hug. He pulled you back over to your friends and the girls converged on you while the boys congratulated Damien.
“I can’t believe that just happened,” Courtney all but shouted. “Damien, you sly dog!”
He shrugged and brought the boys closer to become one full group.
“Who knew?” You questioned them, giving Shayne the stink eye.
“Okay, yeah I knew. I’ve been holding onto your ring for a month and he was going to do it today anyway.” Shayne laughed and pulled you in for a hug. “I get to be the maid of honor, right?”
“Oh yeah, definitely,” you agreed, breaking from his hold and slotting yourself under Damien’s arm. “Is the camera still rolling?”
“Yeah.” Ian held the camera up to your face.
