A couple who planned separate marriage proposals to surprise each other at a special concert both got down on one knee at the same time.
Rachel Hundertmark had been planning for months to propose to her partner Rashad Polk at an upcoming concert performed by the couple’s favorite band.
They had shared their first kiss at a Modest Mouse gig in 2021, so on June 14, they headed down to the show with their friends, family, and Rachel’s 16-year-old daughter Jasmine.
Rachel had a ring tucked in her pocket ready to ask the big question—with no idea that Rashad had the same plan. Both had confided in Jasmine that they were going to propose, so the teen had to keep both secrets without ruining the surprise.
The Baltimore, Maryland mom dropped to one knee first, and Rashad burst into laughter before doing the same thing—with Jasmine ready to capture the heart-warming moment on camera.
“I wanted to get down on one knee to make him feel like a prince, just like he makes me feel like a princess.
“We were so shocked at what happened that neither of us thought to actually say yes.”
The couple, who originally met through work, said everything went perfectly on the day and they have already set their wedding date for September 2025.
“It went perfectly on the day, even the weather was perfect,” said Rashad, a photographer. “The moment was flawless.”
“It was so surreal—it felt like an out of body experience.

“It was good she proposed first, because I was waiting for a certain song before I proposed, and they didn’t even end up playing the one I was waiting for!”
“The song she proposed to, Dashboard, will definitely be played at our wedding.”
“And in the car on the way home, the radio played ‘Marry You’ by Bruno Mars which felt so fitting.” Watch the moment below…
