One man left his soon-to-be wife in shock after he proposed to her in the Kansas City Municipal Court with the help of a judge.
Mike Severo got Judge Joe Locascio to play along with the proposal in front of his girlfriend, Kalina Blosser, who works as a court clerk.

“Mr. Severo,” the judge addressed him. “There’s several charges against you.”
“You’re accused, in 2013, while training Kalina Blosser as a court clerk, of failing to maintain a demeanour as a stone cold fox and allowing her to trespass on your heart.”
“In count two, you’re accused of following the said Kalina Blosser around this courthouse for three solid years like a puppy dog in an attempt to gain entrance into her heart.
“How do you plead to these charges?”
“Guilty, your honour,” Severo said in the video.
Severo started dating Blosser three years ago when he began working at the courthouse. He no longer works there, but continued to date Blosser.
“After dating for several years, I decided that this was the right time to propose. I felt that the courthouse was the most appropriate place, since it was where we met and fell in love,” Severo told Global News.

Severo said he didn’t want to have a traditional proposal over a candle-light dinner. Instead, he wanted to propose in the place where it all started.
So he called up the judge, wrote a script, practised and staged the whole thing.
Severo posted the video of the proposal on Facebook on Oct. 26, which has garnered more than 5,000 views.
