STOP.
When it comes to engagement stories, the Her ladies are extremely curious and a recent conversation on the subject prompted some of our gals to recount their personal memories.
However, they have some competition when it comes to the ‘best’ story because there’s one dude currently breaking the internet after his rather special proposal.
According to The Daily Mail, Dale Sharpe popped the all-important question to his partner, Karlie Russell, under the Northern Lights and although he hadn’t originally planned to do so, it worked out very well as you can see from this STUNNER of an image.
They have a complicated engagement story history too as eight months previous to the actual engagement, he tried to propose but (prepare yourself) the ring, hidden in a tube of hand cream, was thrown out by airport security when the couple’s hand luggage was over the limit.
After saving for another ring, Dale had decided to propose on the morning of their anniversary but when they happened upon the beautiful display of the Aurora Borealis, he decided to go for it there and then.
Dave and Karlie explained the rather lovely story in an Instagram post uploaded to their official Instagram page.
Have a read:
“What a better way to propose than in the heart of the Arctic Circle under the Northern Lights. It’s taken a few years to plan but I always had this moment in mind & it seemed fitting as we are both landscape photographers who share a passion for photographing the aurora. Originally I was going to propose in Iceland last year but unfortunately Karlie decided to discard my secretly stashed ring (yes, that actually happened lol, we were trying to cut weight on a connecting flight from the Faroe Islands).
“Fortunately though my plan worked & tonight the aurora was firing in one of the most incredible displays of colour we have ever seen. I tricked Karlie into believing we were shooting a selfie & used a torch to light us up for the image. Much to her shock, it wasn’t any normal selfie, and much to my shock, she said yes! This is a single image that was taken during the proposal. And now we may not have any of our own images up hanging on our walls at home…we may however, make an exception for this one”.
Now, that’s one to tell the grandkids!
