Rock Climber Proposes To His Girlfriend In The Most Romantic Way Ever

360

ADVERTISEMENT

Rock climber Luis Cardona recently asked his girlfriend to marry him, and his proposal totally rocked.

He popped the question to Maddy Thorpe, who he met in August 2015, while the two were at Elevation Rock Gym in Logan, Utah. Enlisting the help of photographer India Earl, the two devised a plan. While Maddy was at the top of one of her climbs, Luis’s friends quietly appeared down below where they turned off all the lights and quickly decorated the gym with rose petals and string lights. “At first Maddy was a little frightened because she was hanging up there in the air in the pitch black!” Luis told HuffPost. “After she realized what was going on she started to cry. Then…I lowered her down and asked [her to marry me].” See the pictures and the video below. It’s the height of romantic.

    Love the photo's, but really... Proposes on the Most Romantic Way? Because proposals and weddings are the most unromantic thing ever. Unique? True. But romance is based on feelings you can not rank, Most Romantic is impossible.

    How much can love a person? How much love can carry ? Why world is turning mad nowadays? If there are people outside that can love like that, we should love like this, we should just stop fights, stop hate, because people like this are in extintion.

    It is what it is, it's a beautiful setting with all the lights and stuff, and for them it is a beautiful and cute moment, but a marriage proposal usually is better off just to be kept private, it's more romantic for yourselves than for anyone else. Hence the douchebaggery comments below, that's the Internet ppl :)

    There is no way she could be surprised. How did she not notice the lights and the spilled thingies on the ground? So everything was made for the video right? Plus this is so not in a rock climbers stile. No true rock climber would be impressed by this.
