Paul McCartney Helps 64-Year-Old Propose to His Girlfriend

A man from Rochester got the thrill of a lifetime when he popped the question to his long-time girlfriend on-stage at a Paul McCartney concert.

During his performance at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY on July 5th, Sir Paul McCartney spotted John Dann and Claudia Rogers in the audience with two neon signs. "He won't marry me 'til he meets you," Rogers' sign read. Her soon-to-be fiancé Dann, held up a poster saying, "I have the ring and I'm 64."

McCartney stopped the show and invited the couple onto the stage. Once they joined him, McCartney asked, "Are you really going to go through with the proposal?" Dann jokingly responded, "I've come too far to back out now."

Watch the adorable proposal here: 

Then, in front of over 13,000 people, Dann grabbed the mic and sang his rendition of "When I'm 64" while McCartney strummed along on his guitar. 

After finishing the song, the groom-to-be got on one knee and said "Sweetheart will you marry me?" Rogers, beaming with happiness, excitedly said 'yes!'

Congratulations to the lovebirds!

Tip of the Day: Pick colors or themes after choosing your venue. "Often, we have brides tell us their colors are purple and silver (for example) and the venue they have chosen has ivory walls and gold chairs. Think about how the colors and theme complement the space for a cohesive look," advise the pros at Olympia Catering & Events, a family-owned catering company based in Tampa, Florida.

Tip of the Day: "My number-one wedding tip that can save couples from a major emotional or financial disaster is to buy wedding insurance. Although we all plan for flawless weddings, emergencies can happen," says Lynne Goldberg, a wedding planner, producer and on site coordinator (check out her work at msweddingplanner.com).

For less than $200 in most states, she says that wedding insurance will cover unforeseen issues such as wedding gown and ring loss or damage, lost vendor deposits, ruined photos, sudden illness and more.
