A Fairy-Tale Proposal in Downtown Rockford [PHOTOS]

Just when I decide to skip out on a (long-running) Rockford event, something happens that I wish I wouldn't have missed. If you missed the Rockford St. Pat's Parade fairy-tale proposal, listen to the 'soon-to-be' groom's story from this morning's Steve Shannon Show.

Longtime 'Pipe' man Aaron Kerr used his performance in this year's St. Patrick's Day parade to propose to his best friend Kate.

Kate's VERY OWN knight in shining (face) armor!

This is my FAVORITE photo! I cannot stop staring at this one. Congratulations Aaron & Kate from everybody at 97ZOK!!!!

Take a look at the entire proposal photo gallery

One more thing...

You must go to Abreo restaurant and try the Kerr-kumber cocktail. My wife's favorite drink. Aaron is quite gifted behind a bar.

The KERR-KUMBER is made with:

• Gin
• Cucumber juice
• Peach liqueur
• Orange juice

I'm probably missing something, plus if it's not made there, it just won't be the same.
