. The Proposal
Background: I am a Disney-a-holic. I have been to Disney World over 55 times in my life. Every 4 years my parents and I plan a HUGE trip and invite our entire family — all 46 members — to Disney. They never know anything about what we are doing, they just show up, bags packed, and board the plane!
In June of 2014, we were going on one of those HUGE trips, and it was Adam’s first big Disney trip. We had been a few times on smaller trips since we started dating, but as everyone will tell you, a Luckow Disney trip is like nothing else! So I was excited for him to experience it.
Now, we typically give Disney some freedom to surprise us, so it didn’t shock me when on the 4th night, we were walking into Hollywood Studios and start hearing music from the Newsies. It is one of my all time favorite Disney movies and I, of course, started singing along. The whole night was Newsie themed and Disney had prepared a full musical production for us. About halfway through dinner, Jeremy Jordan, who played the original Jack Kelly on Broadway, came out on stage. I was so star struck that Adam still teases me to this day. Little did I know that Jeremy Jordan was NOT the biggest surprise of the night.
After a few songs, some Disney, some not, Jeremy asked me to join him on stage so he could sing a song just to me. He sang a song called Bonnie, from the Broadway show Bonnie and Clyde, in which he was starring. When the song, I began to make my way back to my seat, but Jeremy caught me and made me sit down again. He said that because we were technically celebrating my birthday, he had another special song to sing to me and that I shouldn’t be afraid or scared. Of course I was confused, but also kind of excited. I looked out into the audience where I thought Adam was sitting but I couldn’t really see anything because the stage lights were so bright, so I had no idea that he wasn’t still sitting there.
Jeremy began to sing Zac Brown Band’s Whatever It Is, which is Adam and my song. Of course I loved it and he sounded so great. I kept looking into the audience towards Adam (which ended up being my cousin Luke) so that we could share in the moment, so it completely caught me by surprise when Adam suddenly walked onto the stage.
At this point, alarm bells are going off in my head, and as he starts to spout words of love and affection, I start crying. Down on one knee he went, in front of my WHOLE family, who are this point were cheering and clapping! A ring appears, yes is uttered, kisses exchanged, hugs and fireworks! Yes, fireworks…it is Disney of course! Jeremy continued singing the rest of the song while Adam and I danced onstage, but to be honest, I don’t really remember any of that. Thank goodness we have a video to prove that it all really did happen!

Or I should say she would have been told to let them stay
