“My heart and soul. I’ll love you forever, Schmidt, 31,captioned an Instagram postof the proposal.
Schmidt and Turkovich, 30, met in 2012 at one of Big Time Rush’s concerts at the venue. At the time, Turkovich was a nanny in New York City. Over the years, their friendship grew stronger and they eventually fell in love.
Now, 10 years later, Schmidt decided to pop the question where it all began.

“The scaries are setting in, at least for that part of it,” Henderson said at the time. “But on the production side, everything’s going really smooth. And as long as we’ve been doing it together, things happen pretty quickly. So once we’re all together, things just kind of move, they kind of work.”
Schmidt added, “And this band is notoriously last minute, so that’s kind of situation normal.”
