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.
