GUY PROPOSES ON ROLLER COASTER

An Indiana couple got engaged while riding a roller coaster at Holiday World Amusement Park in Santa Claus, Indiana. Allison Boyle and Austin Crecilius, both seniors at Anderson University, have been dating for nearly two years. Crecilius proposed while riding “The Voyage” on Sept. 19. “I wanted to do something creative and exciting,” Crecilius said. “In many talks we have had we talked about how ‘life is a roller coaster’ and it just seemed fit to propose on a roller coaster.” The couple admits they have talked about getting engaged before but Boyle said she was expecting a proposal around Christmas when her family will be in Indiana for the holidays. She said: “I basically didn’t realize he was proposing until he started talking about having a roller coaster buddy and showed me the ring in his hand.” The ring that Crecilius had was fake; he gave her the real one once they were off the ride.
* Then he gave her the other real one when they got home.
* He “wanted to do something creative and exciting,” and since it’s Indiana, this qualified.
* Personally, I think he was just avoiding an expensive restaurant meal.
* “In many talks they’ve talked about how ‘life is a roller coaster’”? So they’re already in a rut.
* These notions always sound so great at the beginning. It’s only later that they fall apart.
* “What do you mean he did it on an amusement park ride? This isn’t some kind of joke.”
* “And why didn’t the callous bastard get down on one knee?”
* “Yeah, he did it with a fake ring? That’s disgraceful. Does that even count?”
* “He’s supposed to take this seriously. Not make some kind of metaphor joke about life being a roller coaster.”
* PHONE TOPIC: Did you have a cheesy proposal?
