The Zombie Proposal
April 3, 2011 Category: Albino Bowler No Comments »
Okay, I know what you’re thinking… what do zombies and wedding proposals have in common? Well, not much… unless of course you’re Zac McKinney and Roslyn Ayers. The background is this: Zac has been dating Roslyn for some time now and he finally decided he was ready to take the plunge and go for it (I’m quite positive that the constant harassment he’s been receiving at the office had nothing to do with it). Now, I would like to take a second here and point out that I called this after date #1. Zac… told ya so! Anyways, Zac and Roslyn like zombies and are firm believers in the impending zombie apocalypse. Zac recently heard of a thing called ‘Survive Johnson City’ which was a giant game of tag… or zombie tag as was the case, and he thought to himself, “That would be an awesome place to propose!”.
Here’s the setup; Survive Johnson City was a giant game of tag in the old downtown section of Johnson City, Tennessee. Participants showed up wearing a white shirt under a black shirt (black shirt meaning you were a human, white shirt meaning you were a zombie) and when they had been tagged, they took off the black shirt and joined the ranks of the zombies. It had a HUGE turnout (not sure exactly how many, but it was way in the 100s) and was quite entertaining to watch. At one point we witnessed a sole “human” being chased by no less than 20 “zombies”. Pretty funny stuff to witness. Zac and the crew ended up getting there just a bit late and there were almost no humans left at that point… so you could only survive about 30 seconds before getting 
tagged… it was still fun to watch them try though. After a bit of playing, Zac gave me the signal and I snuck him the ring, complete with a (fake) dead finger inside with the ring on it, and he proposed… she of course said yes, to cheers from a small crowd near by that saw the whole thing go down (this, by the way, was done in a safe zone so they wouldn’t get tagged).
This is of course the first ever proposal for thealbinobowler.com! Congratulations you guys! May you have life lasting love… errr… I mean, eat brains together for the rest of your un-dead lives. See below for a video of the evening as well as the proposal itself. Till next time!
