'Tis the season to be merry and probably to get married.
The festive atmosphere at Global Village brought a man down on one knee, right under the giant festive tree at Celebration Walk in Global Village and propose his lady love.
Overwhelmed with the celebrations and festive cheer, Frances Sigaya proposed to his girlfriend Izume Niwa on his first-ever visit to Global Village.
Frances surprised Izume and the other guests who had come to the Park to enjoy the weekend.
The couple is set to tie the knot this month in an intimate ceremony in Dubai.
“I felt awkward when people started staring at us but the background was so lovely, with the festive tree and festive music that it all felt perfect,” said Izume.
Izume, 31, and Frances 33, both Filipinos, met on Facebook and have known each other for a year. Their friendship blossomed soon after, said Izume.
"Global Village is a special place and we are happy to start a new phase of our life with the festive spirit around us,” said Izume.
