NEW YORK (AP) - A British man flew his girlfriend all the way across the pond to New York City so he could propose to her at the firehouse used in the “Ghostbusters” franchise.
Wearing a hard hat and safety vest, Giles Baugh dropped to one knee at Ladder 8 in Tribeca and asked Melissa Ward to marry him.
Ward, who says she’s learned to embrace Baugh’s “Ghostbusters” fandom, happily agreed.
The New York Daily News reports (https://nydn.us/2hlNHPK ) the proposal took several months of planning.
A city employee convinced the FDNY to go along with Baugh’s stunt so long as the proper safety precautions were taken. The 1903 firehouse is currently undergoing a $6.5 million renovation.
Baugh says he can recite his favorite scenes from the 1984 movie verbatim.
