Mechanical Engineering PhD Proposes to Girlfriend

Primary tabs

Robby Gill is working on his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech. Now he also has a wedding to plan.

Gill met Erin Breedlove on Georgia Tech's campus. She works as an academic tutor with the Georgia Tech athletic department.

Their love blossomed, and only a few days after earning his degree Gill was ready to pop the big question. He decided to do it at the spot of their first date. 

Gill got down on one knee at Bone Garden Cantina, and held out an arm for Breedlove, who has cerebral palsy.

"Would you make the the happiest and luckiest man on this big blue and green ball of a planet, and marry me?" He asked.

Breedlove said yes, of course.

“I was overjoyed that a man like him would choose a woman like me to be his life partner,” Breedlove told Atlanta news station WSB.

Family and friends were there to share the moment, and a photographer secretly captured it all as well.

Watch the full proposal here. (Make sure you have a tissue!)
