Chad Gilbert Proposes in Movie Theater

December 2005 --Movie patrons in the lobby of Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre on hand to see the December 3, 2005 premiere of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe witnessed a moment to rival that of any big screen romantic finale when Chad Gilbert, guitarist for New Found Glory, knelt down and asked for the hand of his love, Sherri Dupree, the lead singer for the group Eisley.

Exhibits from the C.S. Lewis cinematic adaptation on display at the theatre through January 26, 2006 added to the magic of the proposal, which took place in front of the wardrobe seen in the film. The couple, who have been an item for most of 2005, have not decided on a wedding date.

Located on Hollywood Boulevard, the El Capitan Theatre is a majestic reminder of Tinseltown's Golden Age. Erected during the flapper era as a live theater, the building was converted into a movie house in 1942, and today cinema buffs can relax amid the luxurious East Indian-inspired decor and enjoy tunes from a live organist before watching the latest box office blockbuster.
