“I tweeted to @YouDontKnowJack and asked for help with a special project. Over six weeks, they developed a special episode of their Facebook version of You Don’t Know Jack. I kept her off the track by telling her it was new a new episode with better writing and they wanted video reactions to it. And, well. The video speaks for itself!”

“Well, I know that every girl has a crush on Peter Pan but my condition was serious. I used to have night terrors as a child, nightmares that would keep me from sleeping. They were so vivid. The only break in all these nightmares was this one vivid dream that reoccurred. It was Peter Pan, at my window, asking me on a date. He would tell me that night what adventure we would go on the next night so I would be ready. One day my mom found my sequined ice skating outfit wadded up under my pillow with my skates. She asked me of course what it was doing there. “Peter Pan is coming and we are going iceskating!” This passion for Pan grew as I did and I watched the video (Mary Martin of course) over and over and wore it out twice. For Halloweens, I was Smee, Hook, Pan, Tink, Wendy, you name it!
I grew up but my love never faded and I moved to Philadelphia where I met Chris. It was only a few weeks into getting to know him that he told me he was cast as Peter Pan. His way of letting me know was a text that read, “Will you be my Wendy?” I called me mom and told her that if this wasn’t the one than it was a cruel joke. It took Chris a while to stop being a “Lost Boy” but one day he decided to move to Philadelphia with me. (He was living in NYC)
He was out of town on work one weekend so I didn’t suspect him home. My friend tells me we should go to an arts/fod fest down by the piers. “Get dolled up!” She says. Little did I know Christopher had called my mom and my best friend from Ohio AND HIS childhood friend Tony from Oregon to come down. He got the hook up on an old Spanish tall ship that happened to be docked in Philly this weekend (because he is magic).
We walk down to the pier and apparently Tony was stationed to greet me with a “Wendy Gown” ( I am a costumer, Chris thinks of everything). My friend Kristen says “We should talk to this pirate.” I am thinking “whatever I am hungry” but I do a double take and realize it is Chris’ friend. “TONY what are you doing here!!??” I scream…then it hits me…oh wow… Tony you are dressed as Hook…what. are. you. doing. here? It was then that I went into an elated shock. They try to dress me in the Wendy gown and escort me onto the ship. The rest is a dream. Please watch the video to see the rest!”

Here is an awesome surprise marriage proposal in New York City coordinated by The Heart Bandits. Andy surprised his girlfriend with a paparazzi-shoot proposal idea!
“This video is how I proposed to my girlfriend on the 24th of December 2012. I made up a pretend band, wrote this song and filmed this video because Lauren loved boy bands growing up!”
