A 1986 Wedding Proposal on Franklin Field you'll want to check out

UPenn and Franlin Field and Wedding Proposal and Penn Band

Some of my favorite stories on DT have to do with Penn love.

I've covered Penn alumni getting married on campus and have even covered some great Penn proposals.

Well, I just discovered another Penn proposal from 1986 that was accomplished during the halftime show on Franklin Field with the help of the Penn Band.

After the jump, check out the video from the Penn vs. Lafayette football game and be sure to also get a blast from the past with these highlights:

Part 1
2:02 - Inspector gadget reference

Part 2
6:35 - The proposal

Part 3
0:55 - The band plays "Just a gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody". A true sign of the times!

5:38 - the 1986 version of our creepy quaker dude!

After the jump, check out some great wedding shots around Penn and learn more about how you can have your wedding reception at dear old Penn!

-Mike Tate (C'10)

"As an outsider to the entertainment industry and to LA, DuelingTampons.com gave me an excellent jumping-off point to start my job search. It enabled me to learn about Penn alums in the entertainment industry and conduct necessary preliminary research. From there I was able to reach out to our incredible alumni network, schedule introductory meetings and phone calls, eventually land an interview, and finally secure an internship at a top Hollywood studio."
