Ashton Waters from Foley, Alabama planned a romantic proposal at the place he and his girlfriend Brittany had their very first date. However, things didn’t work out as planned and Brittany ended up literally sinking in the mud during the big moment.
On their first date, Ashton and Brittany rode quad bikes in a muddy rural retreat called Boggs & Boulders near Andalusia, Alabama.
“Boggs & Boulders is a super special place for us because the first time I asked Brittany on a date she said: ‘Only if we can go to Boggs & Boulders’,” Asthon told SWNS.com. “We’ve had a lot of fun there. We both love to get out in nature and get a little dirty, we love fishing and camping and boating so this seemed like the perfect place for us.”
On the way to their destination, Ashton’s car had gotten stuck in the mud and Brittany got out to push the car. Unfortunately for Brittany, she ended up stuck in the mud herself!
Ashton decided to make the best of the situation and proposed to Brittany right here, sinking mud and all! The ring was a family heirloom from Ashton’s side of the family that he had customised to suit Brittany.
During the proposal he asked: “Since you’re stuck, will you be stuck with me for the rest of your life?”
Brittany happily accepted the proposal.
“I said ‘yes’ straight away…we were both laughing so much. It took two people to haul me out of the mud afterwards,” she said.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Although you may hope that those people attending your wedding would know you well enough to get a gift you’ll like, its better not to risk it. Your…
Shevon Cupido and Carmelete Mentoor have been best friends for almost 30 years, and have supported each other each step of the way. Proving that she is a true ride-or-die friend, Shevon, along with their other lifelong friend Jolene Muller, threw her best friend Carmelete a surprise wedding.
Carmelete met her future fiancé Shawn at a party in 2006. They exchanged numbers and soon became official. In 2012, the pair became engaged at the Cape Company Gardens. However, due to financial reasons, Carmelete and Shawn struggled to set an official wedding date.
Shevon decided to step in and give her best friend a day she’ll never forget.
“They were planning on eventually having a small ceremony and getting a member of their church to marry them at their house, just the two of them. I knew that wasn’t what she really wanted in her heart so I knew I had to do something as every wedding deserves a celebration,” Shevon explains.
Sunflowers are the bride’s favourite flower, so Shevon decided to base the decor on this plant and everything fell in place.
Of course, planning a surprise wedding comes with even more difficulties than planning your own. Shevon experienced much stress, particularly over whether they would have enough finances to make the perfect day.
To keep the surprise alive, Shevon came up with a diversion.
“My plan was to take her and her now husband out on the Saturday as her 40th birthday was the Thursday before. This gave me an excuse to have them ready for the day and luckily they did not suspect anything until we reached the wedding destination, which was my in-laws home. Before entering the home, I then told them that they are actually there to celebrate their wedding day and was met with shocked but happy faces and lots of happy tears.”
Luckily the bridal couple was over the moon at this surprise.
“I was shocked and burst into tears when Shevon told us,” says Carmelete. “I then ended up crying the entire day with happiness and gratefulness. I just couldn’t believe that today is the day that I will be getting married. Finally.”
“My favourite part was seeing everyone that I keep close to my heart. My day was overwhelmed by love, happiness and most of all a thankful heart.”
