Exactly one year ago, I had to undergo valve replacement surgery (open heart).  I just turned 50, was in the best shape of my life, fit, lean and working out with a personal trainer.   I felt great.  Then I was told I needed to have open heart surgery.  I said I think you have the wrong guy !!  They told me my aortic valve was birth defective and needed replacing.  They would have to crack me open, shut my heart down and replace the valve.  I have two teenage kids and was scared to death !!  What if I did not make it ??  It was the most challenging time in my life.  I seen the issues you were dealing with and I have got to tell you.....you were an inspiration to me.  I went to the Cleveland Clinic for the surgery and today....I feel great.  It is amazing what a life "reset" you go though during an ordeal like this.  I since got engaged on a recent trip to Tuscany with a wedding at the Rim Club in Payson June 2nd.   Mia and I, my kids, my extended family, my friends.....I have never been closer to.  I know what is truly important in life and I will never take them for granted. I am truly blessed.   

 When I knew I was going to propose to Mia in Tuscany, I really wanted to make it special. I even went on your website to see by chance if you all were going to be in Italy, and possibly sing that song "Marry Me", since it has special meaning to Mia and I.

I was just wondering if you could somehow be available on June 2nd to provide a little inspiration at the wedding reception ??  Certainly willing to compensate you for your time.  I really just want to kick off the event in a really cool and meaningful way for me.

Thank you for your consideration !!  Dean and Mia
