Sid Ceaser is a photographer based in Nashua, NH. Not only is he a photographer, he's a life-long fan of the Muppets and when the time came to propose to his girlfriend of ten years, he did something special. He had two Muppets made in the likeness of him and his girl, filmed a a trailer on a Flip Ultra HD, and had it screen as a regular trailer before the main feature at Red River Theater in Concord, NH. In the audience was he and his girlfriend. The lights went down, the trailer came up....
Sara didn’t recognize herself in the first scene. She was too busy looking at the Muppet to notice that it was sitting in her chair reading her book, with her tea mug on the arm of the chair.
But when the scene of the Sid Muppet came up playing Halo in our apartment, I felt her hand get tight around mine, and she instantly started choking up and crying. This in turn made me start crying.
So there the two of us were; watching Muppet versions of ourselves on a movie screen and crying together.
I admit, I teared up watching this ^^ Check out Sid's blog post about how this all came together as well as a behind the scenes video.
