Monte and Alisha's Engagement Day

On July 11th Roger videoed Monte's proposal to Alisha so I put it together with some music, words and hearts and posted it here.

My little brother, Monte, asked Alisha to marry him at the end of the auction at our family reunion. You can't understand what's being said on the video so I'll explain it a bit.
Alisha thinks Monte is bidding on an iPod, but during the day when she wasn't looking, he put the ring inside the container. She is obviously not pleased with how high he is bidding...most things at the auction go for $5 -$25 and he was getting up to $60, then $80, then $100 and so on. You can tell she’s getting more and more upset each time he makes a new bid because she hits him and tells him (through gritted teeth) not to bid one more time. Finally, when he makes the winning bid of $120 (I think) he takes her up to the front, gets down on one knee, grabs the wrong hand (hee, hee), then she says, "You're going to do this here?" He said, "Will you marry me?" And the rest is...well, you know.
