A New York City man organized a fairytale proposal for his boyfriend that temporarily cleared the famous ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center.
Craig Buchholz and Sebastian West had one of their first dates at the rink a few years ago. They went back on Thursday, and this time Buchholz worked with Chase Freedom, the sponsor of the ring, to clear the rink so he could propose to West, NBC New York reported.
When the time came, West initially went to skate off the ice with everyone else when someone said the rink had to be cleared for cleaning. Then Buchholz got down on one knee and pulled out a small box with two rings, one for each of them.
West said the Rockefeller Center rink was the first place he went ice skating, “so now it’s great to be back a few years later and now engaged, and I have Craig to thank for both of those occasions,” he told NBC New York.
Buchholz added, “I was actually just exhilarated, and time was going so slow, so I just wanted to get to the clear-the-ice moment.”
