Although the ongoing COVID-19 has brought this world to a halt, nothing is going to stop people from falling in love and expressing it through heartfelt, grand gestures. Our love for poignant proposal stories is not going to fade away anytime soon. One such beautiful proposal happened at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden in the United States. The USP of this wonderful gesture is that it was witnessed by a resident of the zoo — a hippopotamus named Fiona, who looked on as the man got down on his knee to profess his love for the woman of his dreams. The gesture surprised her and left her smiling wide.
The hippopotamus raised the cuteness quotient of the entire proposal, which took place in the Hippo Cove of the zoo. Cincinnati Zoo shared a few pictures of the adorable proposal on their official Twitter handle. The first picture had the man going down on his knee to propose to his partner. While the other picture showed the woman flaunting her engagement ring as Fiona graces the backdrop. They also wrote in the caption that Fiona approved of the match. The aforementioned post garnered a lot of attention and traction on Twitter, leaving everyone fawning over the proposal and Fiona’s presence.
