Unique Marriage Proposal Caught on Video in Buffalo Grove

Matt Kuhlman, a Buffalo Grove native and Stevenson High School graduate, sang and danced his way to a marriage proposal at an April 26 celebration in Buffalo Grove.

Matt Kuhlman's public marriage proposal, made April 26 before a crowd of family and friends, became even more public when a video was posted to YouTube two days later.

Kuhlman's proposal to Lanie Reichman was made during an appreciation party at the Arboretum Club for family and clients of The Sweatshop, the Buffalo Grove gym that Kuhlman opened in 2010.

The 10-minute proposal featured Kuhlman and others singing and dancing to various songs as Reichman watched. As a quartet sang "When I Fall in Love," Kuhlman dropped to one knee and presented his girlfriend with a ring.
