New ways of proposing, or being proposed to, have always interested humanity possibly because of the emotions and sentiments that it creates. In fact, the reason why men seek out new ways to propose to their beloved is simply that the women appreciate an innovative man who puts some effort into the proposal. One woman who would not doubt the amount of effort her man put into the proposal is Allison Ramsey. Allison Ramsey was given an engagement ring by her beau Nolan James Junior, after the couple in love had run a half marathon together.
The two, who are both serious runners, ran half of the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon. According to Allison Ramsey, she was feeling especially delighted that she had finished the half marathon under two hours but had no idea what was coming after her finish. After she crossed the finish line, she received a pleasant shock from her beau Nolan James Junior who took to his knee and presented her with an engagement ring. Needless to say, after so much effort and toil, she accepted and agreed to be his wife.
Allison Ramsey later stated that she was “completely shocked” by the proposal. She even specified that she had no idea about the proposal. Nolan James Junior, however, had planned the whole thing weeks in advance. In fact, he had been so thorough that he even let Allison Ramsey’s family know what was coming after the finish line. According to Nolan James Junior, he wanted to do something special that they could remember for the rest of their lives.
Nolan James Junior revealed that throughout the marathon he was very nervous because he had to carry the engagement ring for 13.1 miles. He said it was “nerve wracking” and checked for the engagement ring in his pocket countless times through the marathon because he was worried that he would drop it. The choice of proposing after the half marathon was made because he said that he met Allison Ramsey while running. Nolan James Junior is 25 years old while Allison Ramsey is five years his senior at 30.
