He stopped me in my tracks! Runner's shock as boyfriend intercepts evening jog with surprise wedding proposal



A runner got the shock of her life when her boyfriend sprang out and popped the big question midway through their evening jog.

Rose Taylor, 21, from Martinez, California, was running alongside her partner Jason Moon, when he suddenly sprinted ahead out of sight. Moments later he reappeared smartly dressed to stop her in her tracks.



Recalling the event, which took place on July 2, the blonde told Yaho o : 'I asked why he was all dressed up. He took my hair out of the pony tail, and he says, "Will you marry me?"'

Mr Moon, 23, went to great lengths to make sure everything ran to plan.

He even set up a table and two chairs along the running trail so that after the proposal he and his new fiancee could sit down and savor the moment.



On the table he set up a 'reserved' sign and a big bowl of blueberries, apparently Miss Taylor's favorite food.

He also hired a photographer friend to candidly capture the chain of events as they unfolded.

At first Miss Taylor thought the gesture was something to do with her upcoming birthday, especially as there were wrapped gifts and a card on the table.

But when Mr Moon got down on one knee she soon realized that it was something on a much grander scale.

After he asked for her hand in marriage she said that she 'hopped up' and 'leapt' into his arms.

'Now we’re engaged. It was so perfect. It was fantastic,' she exclaimed.

She said that she didn't suspect anything and they usually go jogging down at the local marina a couple of times a week after work.

The only thing that seemed odd was that Mr Moon instructed they should head out at precisely 6.45pm.
