In an effort to combine two of the most obnoxious things ever created, a Chicago man arranged a goddamned adorable a cappella wedding proposal to his girlfriend at Ogilvie Transportation Center on Friday.
The proposer, identified by WGN as Robby Goodman, got a group of pals together at the train station to sing a rendition of Michael Bublé's "Everything," a song that is as cloying as its title suggests. Partway through the tune, Goodman got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, Katie Neppel, who then agreed to spend the rest of her life with a cut-rate Andy Bernard. After sliding the ring onto her finger, he finished the song in front of a crowd of onlookers.
All scoffing aside, the proposal was one of the cutest things to happen in Chicago this year, and the lovebirds seem poised to have a fabulous and healthy marriage that makes your relationship with your Netflix account seem even more pathetic. According to some good old-fashioned LinkedIn creeping, Goodman works for Google and went to college at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Assuming that he has a decent stock option from the technology giant, it's safe to say that the Goodman wedding is going to be an extravagant affair. Perhaps he can hire the real Bublé to show up and croon for his wife?
