While cleaning emails, I rediscovered this
sweet London story I'd shared with friends & couldn't resist sharing here! It happened just before Christmas, at a Royal Ballet Nutcracker performance...
During the ballet, the lead male dancer, as the Nutcracker Prince, is supposed to hand the lead female dancer, playing Clara the heroine, an invitation.
But that night, the invitation had the words "Will you marry me?" on it. The audience didn't know, but they'd just witnessed a real life proposal onstage between the two dancers, a real life couple.
The Royal Ballet sweethearts, Paul Kay and Leanne Cope (via) In later interviews, the ballerina said she was totally surprised and might have danced off a few measures too early, but somehow finished her performance...and said YES! (Read the story
here.)
{Isn't that so sweet? I attended the ballet the next night & was sorry I missed the most romantic performance ever by just one evening! And...I know it's off-season to share winter tales in summer, but couldn't help myself...}
