An Australian couple got their hearts racing in a different way than their usual workout in a gym flash mob proposal.
Nico Martina and Mikey Sinclair met each other at the gym so it was the ideal place for Martina to propose to Sinclair. While the pair was at the gym, a dance mob formed blaring Beyoncé. Martina surprised Sinclair when he joined the dance mob before getting down on one knee and proposing.
Martina told howheasked.com that a flash mob was perfect because it combined their love for the gym into a memory they would never forget.
“This proposal was also a way to send a message that ‘love is love’ no matter what your sexuality is. That’s why I chose two Beyoncé songs ‘Love on top’ and ‘End of time’ to dance to. I also wanted one day to be able to re-live that moment with Mike so I wanted to create something memorable. Perhaps one day when we are old and we can share it with our children,” Martina says.
Watch the special moment below.
