Her flash mob proposal starts on a park bench
On a bright afternoon in a park in Santiago de Compostela, a young woman in a pink sweatshirt and her friend have the best seats for a flash mob. She has no idea it is for her. more
It starts like any park show. A song kicks in with the line "let me take you dancing," and nearby stand a man with giant speakers and groups of young people. As the beat picks up, those groups start moving into place. The footwork gets fast, and at one point several dancers point the same way.
SaveShe watches it all from the bench, smiling and chatting with her friend. As far as she can tell, they just got lucky and found a free show.
Then the music changes to Bruno Mars' "Marry You." Someone hands her a small bouquet and a scroll, and it starts to sink in. Commenters keep coming back to her face right here, the second the flowers land in her hands.
SaveA man in a letterman jacket is dancing with the group. He is not the smoothest mover out there. One of the most liked comments puts it kindly: he is no dancer, but the love on display can't be measured. Another jokes that you couldn't hide him at the back.
He keeps up anyway. The song builds to "just say I do, tell me right now," and as the routine winds down, the dancers help him ask the big question.
SaveThe comments read like a wedding guest book. A 62-year-old man writes that he is in tears. People married 47 years and more than 34 send their best wishes, and someone who proposed under a tree 54 years ago hopes the two of them keep that butterfly feeling. One viewer noticed something smaller. With all that dancing going on around her, her eyes stay glued to him.
