Best halftime ever

[ticapnews]

Sure it was contrived by a corporation, but that was something special.

For those not watching the Fiesta Bowl, Tostitos had a woman trying to throw a football through a hole in a tent some 15 yards away, to benefit the USO. Her boyfriend is a 1Lt in the Army who has been in Iraq. They had a shot of him "via satellite" watching her make the throw. What she didn't know was that he was actually inside the tent and he came out after she missed the target. So they were reunited in front of tens of thousands of football fans. Then the soldier got down on one knee and proposed. The crowd, of course, went nuts and the woman said, "Of course."

Quite a bit more than what she was expecting when she walked onto the field...

1. Brought tears to my eyes!

Did you see how much she was shaking? She'll have to watch a recording to remember what really happened! :D

2. I hate ambush proposals

what's she really going to say? I mean she could be planning to dump him next week, and she's going to say no in that circumstance?

3. I would guess that was worked out ahead of time

...and he was pretty sure that she would say yes, and they had talked about that beforehand.
