As the new students were formally welcomed into the university, a heartwarming scene stole the show. In front of a crowd of cheering peers and faculty, a young man took the bold step of proposing to his girlfriend, who was also among the matriculating students.
The proposal was a perfectly timed surprise. Just as the ceremony reached its peak, the young man approached his unsuspecting girlfriend, dropped to one knee, and presented her with a ring. Gasps of astonishment quickly turned into loud cheers as his girlfriend, overcome with emotion, tearfully accepted the proposal.
Witnesses described the moment as magical and a breath of fresh air amid the formal proceedings. “It was a beautiful display of love and courage,” said one onlooker. “Everyone was so happy for them. It’s a day none of us will forget.”
The newly engaged couple was showered with applause and congratulatory wishes from fellow students, making the day even more memorable. For many, it was a moment that added a unique touch of love to an already significant day in their academic journey.
This unexpected romantic gesture has since been the talk of the campus, marking the beginning of a new chapter for both the newlyweds-to-be and their journey at Benue State University.
