Kaitlyn Curran hljóp sitt fyrsta maraþon í New York-maraþoninu seinasta sunnudag. Heilt maraþon eru 42 kílómetrar en þegar hún var rúmlega hálfnuð, eða að nálgast 26 kílómetra markið, kom kærasti hennar, Dennis Galvin, henni á óvart.
Þegar Kaitlyn sá Dennis standa álengdar hljóp hún að sjálfsögðu til hans og bjóst við hvatningarorðum. Í staðinn fékk hún bónorð, sem hún tók fegins hendi.
SHE SAID YES: A woman who was running in Sunday’s New York City Marathon was at mile 16 when her longtime boyfriend hopped over the barrier and dropped to one knee. She ended the day with a medal around her neck and a ring on her finger. https://t.co/8xbZ6P24RM pic.twitter.com/YizdEJYOhc

Internetið logar hins vegar út af þessu bónorði, sem CBS Evening News, birta myndband af á Twitter. Eru margir sammála um að Dennis hafi náð að láta afrek unnustu sinnar, sem hún var búin að æfa fyrir í marga mánuði, snúast um sig. Einhverjum finnst þetta hreint út sagt dónaskapur eins og sjá má á athugasemdunum hér fyrir neðan:
OMG, I am STEAMING about the guy who proposed to his GF at mile 16 of her FIRST NYC marathon. What the actual fuck? What a shitty ass thing to do! She worked hard for that shit, and he made it about him. *growls*

this guy clearly needs better friends because not a single one of them told him NOT TO FUCKING DO THIS https://t.co/l8pNfbptZA

If you've ever trained for a marathon, the amount of time that goes into, is a lot. To be interrupted for a damn proposal is insane. https://t.co/bW6ocBqwuQ

On a day when there’s so much discord, I’m glad we all agree that marathon proposal guy fucking sucks

Seeing all of Twitter pile on the NYC marathon proposal guy gives me faith in America.

Netverjar hafa hins vegar ekki hugmynd um hvað Kaitlyn fannst um þetta, en hún virðist hafa skokkað glöð áfram í mark eftir að hún játaði bónorðinu.
Við á Bleikt óskum Dennis og Kaitlyn því innilega til hamingju.
