Sweet Proposal Stories from the Finish Line at the Boston Marathon

This year's Boston Marathon was filled with emotion—joy, triumph, inspiration, celebration—and, for at least a few couples, the event was especially memorable.

Greg Picklesimer ran the Boston Marathon last year, and he says when the bombs went off, life was quickly put into perspective: "After last year I realized the people you love and your life can be taken so quickly. ... I didn’t want to lose that so I decided to come back and seal the deal." So, this year, he had an engagement ring in his back pocket during the race—and when he spotted his girlfriend, Carla White, at the finish line, he dropped to one knee and proposed. Carla told a CBS Boston reporter that she had been "waiting for [Greg] her whole life"—she said yes.

I don't have a ton of details about this one, but apparently Erin was stopped one mile from the finish line at last year's Boston Marathon. This year, she ran it again—blindfolded, in order to help raise money for the National Braille Press, with her boyfriend Joe as her guide. And look what happened at the finish line:

And there are still more people who popped the question yesterday! Tom Louden proposed to his girlfriend, Mary; after running his 16th Boston Marathon, John Duncan asked girlfriend Jody Nili to marry him.

Super sweet. What do you think?
