The Ring That Started It All

Eyes of Cassandra Flyer

The Execution:
I created this flyer (pictured above) that said she receives a free 5 minute reading from the Eyes of Cassandra psychic hotline and mailed it to the house. The reading would take place on a specific day and time and a passcode was required.  When it arrived, she opened the letter, and immediately says “this is fake, it’s a scam, they’re gonna take 5 mins to get to know you then charge you” and threw the paper out. So I’m sitting here literally watching my plans go down the drain and immediately had to go into damage control mode.  I was able to convince her to call the psychic by telling her it would be fun to screw with the psychic and ask her crazy questions like “how old will I be when I need dentures.”  She agreed to call and I was glad.  Things were going just as I had planned.

The Hidden Message

Fefe arrives at the hotel thinking we’re just doing something to get away and that I wanted to be romantic, our hotel room had a heart shaped Jacuzzi inside.  She was so excited about that Jacuzzi that the thought of a proposal hadn’t even crossed her mind. Meanwhile, the flyer that I mailed to the house earlier in the week stated a specific time and date to call for the free reading, which just happens to be during our stay at the hotel. After we get settled in, I say “hey, don’t we get to call the psychic today, let’s call”.  Fefe actually forgot all about it, but was still willing to call.

We call “Cassandra” on speaker phone and Jovan did a great job as the psychic.  Her signature slogan: “I’m getting a vibe” was hilarious.  She goes through the list of things that I had told her and at the end says “I see marriage in your future, look to the stars for all of you answers.”  After the call Fefe is super psyched now, she’s in utter disbelief, like “she knew everything about us. I thought it was going to be fake, but she really knew everything.”  She even wanted to call right back and pay the .99 cents per min to learn more. Once she calmed down a bit, she went to the bathroom and I turned off the hotel room lights and lit up the black light to show the message.  As soon as she came out of the bathroom, the message was right there blaring in front of her face.  She immediately starts screaming “yes yes yes” so I get on one knee and pop the question and she graciously accepts.  As soon as she accepts and was finished admiring her ring, it hit her.  She says: “Keith look, the stars oh my god the stars. The psychic told me to look to the stars, she knew this would happen. We HAVE to call her back!” I just started laughing, and then filled her in on the entire plan.
