Elton John鈥檚 Your Song is now Ron Beaudoin and Amanda Grace Leslie鈥檚 song.
As if attending the legendary pop musician鈥檚 Sept. 24 Vancouver stop on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour wasn鈥檛 already an occasion to be remembered, the Shuswap man made the evening unforgettable for Leslie. During John鈥檚 performance of Your Song, a hit from his 1970 self-titled album, Beaudoin got down on one knee, opened a small illuminated jewelry box in front of Leslie and asked her to marry him.
Before proposing, Beaudoin asked a fellow concertgoer if he would film the occasion. Accepting that honour was Neal McDonough. At the time, Beadoin didn鈥檛 recognize McDonough from his long career in front of the camera, having appeared in films The Minority Report and Captain America: The First Avenger, and on numerous television series including Band of Brothers, Suits, Van Helsing, Arrow and Desperate Housewives. McDonough briefly turns the camera towards himself to congratulate the happy couple.
Beaudoin told the media that the proposal was spontaneous. He鈥檇 bought the tickets two days before the concert and the ring shortly after in Vancouver.
