Watch: Heartwarming moment couple gets engaged at Abbey Road Studios in London
It’s thought to be the first-ever proposal at the iconic music studio in London
London is a great place to fall in love, and an even better place to propose.
The city has been the backdrop to many timeless love stories (both real and fictional) from Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor to Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
Earlier this week, it became the setting for another romance - and perhaps, a world-first proposal.
Christina Teenz Tan and Ron Danziger are both neurology residents and lifelong creatives.
Their relationship, which spans a decade of shared work across music, science, and medicine, reached new heights in 2021 when Danziger proposed to Tan at Abbey Road’s iconic Studio One during the recording of another co-written piece, Pie-in-the-Sky.
Surrounded by the full 78-member Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Robert Ziegler, the moment marked what is believed to be the first marriage proposal in the legendary studio.
Songwriter Christina Teenz Tan added, “Writing the lyrics to Timeless was a way of capturing how I saw our journey then. Hearing it now—fully realised with an orchestra, and sung on stage—it feels like our love set to music.”
Tan and Danziger’s song, Timeless, will be released by Signum Records on 27 June 2025.
The couple will also walk down the aisle to Timeless when they marry at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles on 14 June 2025.
Composer Ron Danziger said: “Timeless captures the essence of our story—one of deep connection across worlds of science and music. To celebrate our wedding with this piece feels like coming full circle.”
Timeless will be released on 27 June 2025.
Creator, Director, and Co-Producer Susan Lim shares: "Having witnessed the evolution of Timeless since its inception in 2016, I am continually inspired by Christina and Ron's remarkable journey. Their love story, which beautifully intertwines the worlds of music and medicine, has transformed this piece from a heartfelt song into a rich orchestral track. As it has matured, Timeless has found its place in both orchestral and chamber music versions of the Lim Fantasy of Companionship, culminating in a breathtaking love ballad.
“The exquisite arrangements by Manu Martin bring their unique narrative to life, and I am excited to see it premiered by the talented Tom Ball, an alum of America's Got Talent, on June 26th, in celebration of their union. This will be followed by the highly anticipated release of the new single on June 27th, a testament to their enduring love and creativity.”
