THE PROPOSAL TABITHA: “It was pretty awesome” “We were dancing a job in Italy and we decided to stay and take a vacation because we were in Italy and I’m Italian and had never been so it was a big deal. He had been before to Italy. He wanted to propose to me in Venice on a Gondola, that was what was in his mind. Now, I had no idea any of this was going down. But when we got to Venice, it was definitely not as romantic as we visualized it.” NAPOLEON: “When you get on the Gondola, it’s stinky and smelly and there’s traffic jams. I thought it was going to be me, the gondola dude and Tab, and we’d be on this tiny little thing, but there’s like hundreds of them everywhere and they’re pushing off each other.” TABITHA: “We were like ‘can you sing for us?’ (Mimicking the gondola driver’s voice) ‘I don’t sing. When I sing, it rains’. (Tabitha pulls a face) Okaaay.” NAPOLEON: “Then we went to Florence and I had it (the ring) with me always in my pocket, ready to go. We’d be at a museum or something and she’d put her arms in my pockets or around me and I’m like ‘It’s hot! Don’t touch me!’” “So anyways, we got to Rome and I’d been there before, to Fountain of Trevi, which is one of the most beautiful things. I said okay, I popped by the hotel, it was really close to it, and I was like ‘We’re gonna walk to the fountain, you’re gonna love it.’ It was only ten at night. She was like, ‘I’m tired, can we get on the train?” I was like, ‘Come on, we’re gonna go real quick.’ Mind you, it took us an hour and a half, maybe longer, to walk there. “ K R E A T I V M N D Z . C O M 28 MAY/JUNE 2014 ? ?? TABITHA: (Kindly comforting Napoleon) “No, it was like an hour.” NAPOLEON: “It was a long way though. It wasn’t right around the corner.” “We finally got there and I was like YES, this is going to be it. We get to the fountain and it’s like eleven thirty at night, maybe later. TABITHA: “But in Italy, every body hangs out.” NAPOLEON: “I was like oh my god, it’s so packed here. It was like PACKED! It was like there was a party in there. There was no way I could do that. It was so not romantic. So we sat down and had dinner and by the time we finished, it was like one and people had cleared.” “Then we went to the fountain and I told her the story about the Romans coming to the fountain and blah blah blah. I made her throw the coin in there and when she through the coin in, I put the ring inside on a little ledge and then I said, ‘what did you wish for?’ And she said what she wished for, ‘we’d always be together,’ and she said ‘what did you wish for?’ and I reached in the fountain and I pulled out the ring. TABITHA: “Then he got down on his knee.” NAPPYTABS TRIVIA WITH Biggest Audition Fail 1. NAPOLEON’S CULTURE SHOCK AUDITION “I took off and hid in the bathroom and didn’t come out.
