In one of the most New York moments ever, a power couple of NYPD officers ran the New York City Marathon [1] together and subsequently became engaged at the finish line [2]. After 26.2 miles of cruising the streets of the Big Apple, Officer Ramos dropped a knee and proposed to his girlfriend, Auxiliary Officer Nemyzov.
She said yes!
Auxiliary Officer Nemyzov was happy to finish the #TCSNYCmarathon [3], but Officer Ramos had something else planned. Congrats! pic.twitter.com/6f79qPOEA2 [4]— NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) November 5, 2017 [5]
As if marathon finish lines weren't emotional enough, Officer Ramos gave spectators, volunteers, and runners alike another reason to cry and smile. Talk about a photo finish!
Congrats to this @nypd couple, who just got engaged at the #TCSNYCMarathon finish line!! 👮+👮♀️+🏅+💍=❤️❤️ [7]
Congrats to the happy couple — on your miles and your engagement. Here's hoping they had some Champagne to celebrate.
