US Olympian Justin Best proposed his girlfriend Lainey Olivia Duncan in front of the iconic Eiffel tower on Tuesday. Interestingly, he welcomed his girlfriend with 2738 yellow roses which itself is a record. Yet, why there is a certain number of roses? Does this particular number has something to do with the couple’s love life? Yes, that is true.
This number symbolises each day that the couple have spent together. Best won the first gold medal in rowing for his country. “Lainey Olivia Duncan, you are the love of my life.
You are stunningly beautiful and ferociously intelligent...
,” the Olympic champion knelt and said to his girlfriend. He then brought out the ring from his pocket and said, “This is going to be the easiest question of my life. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and raise a family together.
Lainey, will you marry me?” And in return an emotional and overwhelmed Duncan said “yes”. Himanshu Guru is a senior sub-editor & journalist based in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. He has worked for both print & online media.
