WKU Student Stages Epic ‘Hamilton’ Themed Marriage Proposal [VIDEO]
I have a late entry for National Proposal Day, and it's very clever. Western Kentucky University student Elijah Essa and his fiancee' Sarah Burnett are huge fans of the Tony-winning musical Hamilton. On February 13th, Elijah gathered a big group of the couple's friends at Van Meter Hall to stage a marriage proposal, complete with choreography, set in the world of Hamilton.
The story was picked up by several major media outlets including Broadway.com. Both Essa and Burnett are from Louisville. How romantic!
