What Have We Here
High school sweethearts Lee Loechler and Stulthi David had been together for over a decade. Lee, a filmmaker, and Sthuthi, a cardiologist, had gone to the local theater to watch her favorite movie, Sleeping Beauty. But little did she know this would be a special version.

This Isn't The Version I Remember

It's Been a Long Time Coming

They're All In On It
Sthuthi, still shocked, looks around bewildered, embaressed this is happening in front of all these random people. Only to realize, Lee had another surprise for her.
