A South Florida high school student found a clever way to ask his girlfriend to prom on their anniversary.
Chris Linares, an 18-year old football player at Braddock Senior High School created a banner that was held from the second floor of the school saying: "Today I experienced 4 years with you! May I also experience prom with you?"
With the help of other students, the teen pulled out roses and got on one knee as balloons were dropped over them on Thursday.
The proposal was caught on camera by another student:
Linares said his girlfriend had no idea. “She broke down into tears and covered her face,” Linares told NBC 6.
The student said he planned the proposal three days ago with the help of his friends.
