Ever heard of a man proposing to his partner on an international bridge? that too during a half-marathon?
27-year-old Grant Chrispin from Ohio in the US surprised his lover of three years with a marriage proposal, while they were pacing at the Sault International Festival of Races on Saturday .
Grant’s partner Carmela Taranto was rather puzzled when her sister asked her to take a break while they were halfway into the marathon. She then tumbled into grant, who by then had knelt down, ready with a box of wedding rings.
It was a moment of overpowering emotions for the couple as they hugged each other, with Carmela still recovering from the sweet-shock that she had just received.The two were thrown into a long distance relationship after Carmela, who’s a resident of Canada, failed to get a US visa.
