Getting everything captured on the film was an icing on the cake. He ensured that the most important moment of his life was there on the camera. Plus, it has become a keepsake of their love to last a lifetime of memories. So, it was better to just have it on film and click the ‘play’ when required.
If love was not enough then his creativity might have earned him a ‘yes’. As per his game plan, the video of his proposal started playing up on the screen as soon as Emily settled in.

Justin also added a new-age twist to surprise her with the unexpected. The dance, jigs, song and a street act by a huge group was cool and super fun for his soon-to-be fiancee. Flash mob is quite a new trend that has caught up not just as a dance routine, but as a way to express love as well.
Justin very well knew the dos and don’ts of taking his relationship to the next level.
