Man Uses Newborn Baby to Help Him Propose

From Cosmopolitan

Moments after Lauren French, 22, gave birth to her and boyfriend Shane Brinkley’s first child, Nevaeh, Brinkley handed their baby back to her wearing a onesie reading “Mummy, will you marry my daddy?” the Peterborough Telegraph reports. French was reportedly so surprised she sobbed and had to be prompted by Brinkley, 25, for an answer.

The above video, captured by a midwife in the hospital room with the couple, shows French reaching for her baby and realizing what was happening simultaneously. “I wanted to make the proposal different – I’d been planning it for 8 months. It was really difficult to keep secret, only Lauren’s mum and my best mate knew I was going to do it,” Brinkley told the Telegraph.

Since Nevaeh’s Oct. 10 birth, her parents have brought her home (She’s “settling down brilliantly to her new surroundings, she has made my family complete,” French said.), had tons of visitors to celebrate both their addition and engagement, and updated their Facebooks to reflect their new relationship statuses.
