NEW YORK (AP) - One runner in the New York City marathon came away with an engagement ring alongside her medal for finishing the race.
Kaitlyn Curran, a nurse at St. Barnabas Hospital, says she was hitting mile 16 in the marathon when she saw her boyfriend Dennis Galvin down on one knee Sunday. WNBC-TV reports that Galvin, a Jersey City, New Jersey firefighter asked Curran to marry her as crowds cheered on the couple.
Curran said yes, and went on to finish the marathon with a time of four hours and 24 minutes.
Galvin’s cousin Kathleen Deirdre says the couple has been dating for four years, and Galvin wanted the proposal to be special.
