These are moments that make photography so enjoyable !

I am not their "official photographer", but I have got his contact. Will be getting in touch with him, and will be presenting a set of images to the happy couple.

Was talking to him over the phone just today, quite interesting experience to share

What's that pass on that yellow lanyard she's wearing? Competitor's spouse-to-be special pass?

[Bored Dad]

Wow! What a great series to share, what a moment in life to remember, how romantic it is...

A precious memory for them to cherrish and remember for the years to come...

Congrats to both of them!

[Sjourn]

oh wow...that is indeed beautiful.

wonder if he did not win it, would he still propose?

[littlejt]

he wasn't the one that won the competition.

Quote: Despite the humidity, 21-year-old Reinaldo Colucci came out on top with a time of three hours, 49.59 minutes.

Quote: One participant proposed to his fianc饠of seven years after crossing the finishing line. "In the preparation of this, a lot of sacrifice is made by my loved ones, so this is my way of sharing the finish," said Chin Jia Kiat. And his fianc饠Esther Wong was definitely surprised. "I wasn't expecting this. I knew this was very important to him, so that's why all of us came down to support him."
