He secretly proposed to his girlfriend for over a month. She had no idea
Edi Okoro took several pictures and videos of his girlfriend Cally Read with the ring next to her. She didn’t realise what was happening.
If you’re bored with the regular down-on-one-knee, will-you-marry-me style proposals and are looking for something hat-ke to pop the question, this man’s idea may excite you. His idea is winning over social media and has inspired many already.
Facebook user Edi Okoro considers himself a spontaneous person and wanted his proposal to be just that - not planned. He had a ring ready for his girlfriend Cally Read but didn’t quite get the right moment to pop the question on more than a few occasions.
“All these missed opportunities mixed in with the thought - Cally doesn’t know I have the ring! I should just start documenting these moments,” he says on Facebook. So, that’s what he did.
Edi began taking pictures and videos of Cally with the ring next to her - while they were at the grocery store, while chilling at a beach, while they sat together at home and many more such times. He even placed the ring in her hand as she slept and clicked a picture.
“The idea was to take as many photos, in more daring scenarios, until I found the perfect moment to propose, or until I got caught, at which point I would propose,’ he says on Facebook, adding that Cally had no idea what was happening.
The result is this wonderful gallery of almost-proposals. Take a look:
Shared on August 26, Edi’s post has collected over 75,000 reactions and more than 57,000 shares - and still counting. People are thoroughly impressed with this proposal.
“This is really mind blowing,” says a Facebook user. “So romantic and funny at the same time,” says another. “Wow, that’s fantastic. What beautiful memories to have,” says a third.
In case you’re wondering how he finally proposed and if she said yes, Edi shared another post. Spoiler alert, she said yes.
What do you think of this proposal?
