So, a man surprised his girlfriend by hopping over a barrier when she was in the middle of competing in the New York Marathon to propose.
How… nice.
According to CBS News, it was Kaitlyn Curren’s first time competing in a marathon. She’d been training for a year and had no doubt been thinking about (and looking forward to) this challenge for months.
She was hitting the 16th mile – almost 26 kilometres – when her boyfriend Dennis Galvin interrupted her and got down on one knee and proposed.
Curren said yes, cried, and gave him a hug. Galvin put the ring on her finger before she said she needed to finish the race.
So off she went. To run the remaining 16 kilometres.

Has anyone actually asked the woman how she feels about the proposal? I mean, she said yes, so she probably wasn't too pissed off.
Anyway, now the whole world can see her achievement of completing her first marathon.
As you say, she seems happy, but I agree with the others. Wait until the finish line, guys. Let her do her thing, then do yours.
