Man Chooses Flashmob For Proposal

A man from Ipswich decided to propose to his girlfriend – by recruiting a flash mob to help with the surprise.

Alex Osborn, 26, is understood to have hired the volunteer dancers via a social media website, the BBC has claimed. After receiving a positive response to his request, Mr Osborn then started planning the surprise. Then, the trainee tattooist took his girlfriend – 22-year-old Rebecca Kingham – to the London Eye, which is where the flashmob appeared.

Discussing the proposal, Ms Kingham, said: "I didn't know it was for me at first and then they started pointing at me and Alex appeared in the middle of them.

"We were going on a trip to London with my sister and her husband and I was moaning while we were waiting to go on the wheel because it was really cold – then the flashmob appeared.

"I was in shock, but I said yes. It was incredible and I can't believe he organised it – he's amazing."

Osborn added: "I started organising it in August by putting out an appeal on Gumtree, and then a lady contacted me who organises flashmobs.

"I'm delighted at how smoothly it went and I was always confident she would say yes."

The 60-strong London Flashmob, were recruited online and danced to a recording of 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

The couple have not yet set a wedding date but plan to tie the knot next year.
