The video clip below was taken when I was hired to play solo saxophone while a gentleman surprised his girlfriend at the Cherry Hill section of Central Park and proposed to her. It was around 9pm, so it was pretty dark, and I had to set up the camera without knowing where the couple was coming in, but you can make out the Manhattan Carriage Co Engagement Ride Carriage that the couple comes riding in on. You can also see the couple walking over. As a suprise to the bride to be, I was requested to play the melody to the couple's favorite song entitled "You and me."
