Most people's life is far from being as action-packed as a 'James Bond' movie or as strange as a Sci-Fi film.

However, every now and again, life offers you these moments that seem like they were written by some of the most romantic novelists or planned out by a famous romance movie director.

And if you're lucky enough, someone with a phone or camera is ready to capture it for you so you can relive it as much as you possibly want.

As it turns out, her boyfriend of five years Alno Kroon, got special permission to wear the suit and surprise his girlfriend onstage.

Alno told Huisgenoot, that he had been planning on proposing for some time and felt like this was the perfect way to ask her because he always said her engagement needs to be so big it makes it onto the news to show how special she is to him.
