Chris Kattan is best know for being on SNL from 1996 – 2003 where he and Will Ferral created the iconic sketch “Night at the Roxbury” that went on to become a movie.
But that’s all long behind him now and he’s ready to start a life with girlfriend, now fiance, Maria Libri.
Chris shared the amazing proposal story on Instagram:
So.. this happened last night in Chicago. During a Wilco concert, Maria’s favorite band, I proposed to Maria. Jeff Tweedy, the lead singer, stopped the concert as I kneeled and she said ‘Yes!’ Jeff said “She said ‘yes’ everybody!” to the audience. Then played one of Maria’s favorite songs “I’m the Man Who Loves You.” Thank you Wilco and Jeff and everyone involved in making this incredible moment actually happen. I’m forever grateful. I love you Maria.
Libri, a former journalist, said she started falling for the comedian she interviewed him more than a year and a half ago.
“It’s funny how life works sometimes and gives you gifts when you’re not looking for them,” she told People. “When we met, we were immediately comfortable with one another. Call it weird, mystical or magical; it’s like we’d known each other in a past life.”
She added, “After spending that first day together (though I didn’t know how), I just somehow knew that my life would never be the same after meeting Chris.”
