Man Uses Flash Mob To Propose To Girlfriend
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Asking the love of your life for her hand in marriage is nerve wracking enough.
Now try and coordinate a few dance moves for you and a few of your friends, and you have a real nail biter.
The whole idea for the flash mob proposal started after James Ake heard his girlfriend of a little more than a year say how cool it would be if a flash mob happened to her.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}On Sunday, she found out her boyfriend actually listens.
Ake was minutes away from proposing.
But he didn't just get on one knee, he staged a flash mob.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I'm pretty confident she's going to say yes, but the whole production of everything has me a little nervous," said Ake.
It started with Ake's girlfriend, Ana Gutierrez, walking with her friend when a stranger bumped into them.
There were cartwheels and dozens of people in unison and then one-by-one Gutierrez started getting roses.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Ake showed up to give the last rose, a glass rose.
"I'm going to say, 'This rose complete your bouquet like you complete my life' and then it's a glass rose and, 'like this rose our love is never going to die'," said Ake.
The big moment on one knee left Gutierrez saying yes.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I couldn't believe he did all this for me," said Gutierrez.
"It went better than I planned. It went perfect. It went just how I'd hoped it would," said Ake.
Ake and Gutierrez met in an Arizona State University science class. They were lab partners.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}They said it was chemistry from the start.
"He's the love of my life, he's everything. He's my soul mate, I know it," said Gutierrez.
Getting it all done was no easy feat. Ake planned the flash mob for three months.
