(Source) — Nothing can stop their love — not even handcuffs. An Oklahoma man proposed to his girlfriend as he was being arrested for six felony warrants on his birthday, and the moment was captured on police body camera video, local news channel News On 6 reported. “Oh my gosh is he serious? But I knew I was gonna say yes. Like, I love him a lot … I guess it’s like an unconditional love, you know?” said the bride-to-be, Leandria Keith. “It feels great. I know that he loves me and I love him and we can get through anything together,” she added. Cops were taken aback by Brandon Thompson’s July 4 stunt, but they let him get down on one knee to pop the question. Lincoln Anderson, a Muskogee Police Department spokesman, said he hoped their act of kindness shows cops are human beings with feelings and aren’t just there to take people to jail.
Perhaps this isn’t the “classiest” proposal you’ll ever run into, it’s not something that’s going to get written into the next Kate Hudson romcom, but I love this. Every married person in the world loves to tell you their engagement story up until they have kids at which point baby pictures takes the place of needless shit you don’t want to hear about. People love to hear it too, “Tell the story! Tell the story!” spinsters bellow whenever a new ring appears on the block. Guess what? They’re all the same. We went to a restaurant/romantic place and I got down on one knee and ohmygod shoot me in the fucking head I’ve heard this a million times.
You know what story I haven’t heard? Being surrounded by cops, hands bound by handcuffs, and popping the question. Folks like to make the proposal all nicey nice, they put on airs and pretend to be someone they’re not in order to trick the love of their life into saying yes. Not Brandon Thomson. He bared his soul and his true self on that sidewalk. Baby, will you make me, a wanted felon, your man forever and always? That’s real love right there, being yourself and still being accepted. Brings a goddamn tear to my eye.
PS – “Like, I love him a lot… I guess it’s like an unconditional love, you know?” Leandria Keith is about to put Hallmark out of business.
PPS – Love the cops jumping on some good PR. They don’t just take people to jail they also… I don’t really know… watch people get engaged and then take them to jail.
