Journalist Erica Murphy from Atlanta recently posted a touching account of her fiancé’s unusual marriage proposal on social media. Online users responded in a variety of ways to this.
Murphy published an image of a ring box with the handwritten question “Will You Marry Me?” on it.
She claimed that before she left for work, her future husband, Monta Homes, had left this surprise for her to find in the restroom. She enthusiastically accepted his proposal and shared the occasion on social media using the hashtag FutureMrsHomes.
While the couple was thrilled to learn they were engaged, social media users had a variety of opinions about how the proposal was handled, with some defending the couple’s right to their own personal preferences and choices.
In an interview, Erica Murphy expressed her opinions on the subject. Even though it’s entertaining to watch viral proposals happen to other people, going through one personally is a totally private and unusual experience.
She wanted to make it clear that Monta Homes had given his proposal a lot of thought, to dispel any notions that it was a hasty or reckless proposal. For this performance, this man traveled from Detroit”.
This wasn’t an afterthought, she proclaimed emphatically”.
Murphy mentioned how emotionally spent she was from covering a Confederate memorial service for work in the days preceding the proposal.
Homes made a commotion in the bathroom just 30 minutes before she was supposed to wake up for her early morning job, which she admittedly irritated her. I was still bothered by an old niggle. I was just so irritated, she admitted of her emotional state at the time.
Monta Homes methodically set up the proposal, knowing that Murphy would go into the bathroom to clean up after him. The chance presented itself, so he tore a page from his study notebook, wrote the sincere request on it, and then he took it.
I meet this criteria. “I want to catch her when she least expects it,” Homes said, elaborating on his justification for the novel tactic. Homes acknowledged criticism about his choice on social media, but said he was happy with the proposal.
I know other people wanted me to get the blimp with ‘the world is yours’ and all that other stuff,” he said with confidence. I could have done it, though, so that’s why. But I prefer this more. ”.
The proposal’s message deeply touched Erica Murphy, and it will always be etched in her memory. She keeps a scrap of paper as a memento to constantly be reminded of the heartfelt moment she and Monta shared.
On that unforgettable day, she greeted her fiance with a radiant smile and said, “Monta, you’re so adorable.” This statement perfectly captured her flurry of feelings.
