A guy proposed to his fianc\u00e9 by editing himself into the wedding scene of Shrek\u2014a perfect way to totally surprise his girlfriend, and honor their love for the movie.<\/p>\n
Carter Allen spent five hours adding a clip of himself seamlessly running down the aisle saying he\u2019s \u2018experienced true love, too\u2019.<\/p>\n
While playing the edited film for her at home last month, he left the room during that scene. He reappeared wearing the same suit he was wearing in the movie and got down on one knee to propose to Andressa Da Silva.<\/p>\n
The young couple met four years ago on a class film set working on a project that Carter wrote.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old American from Georgia was predominantly a writer\/director at the Georgia Institute of Technology, while she was an actress.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I met her I fell for her, and while editing the class film and listening to us mucking around in between takes, I fell for her all over again.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom then on, we\u2019ve always helped each other out and spent evenings watching films together.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always knew I wanted to do something film-focused, but also something intimate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter initially thought about proposing to Andressa in a movie theatre, but said \u2018it didn\u2019t feel right\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d be proposing during a film you\u2019d never seen before, and what if it was bad?\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead, inspiration came from her suggestion for their next movie night.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started thinking about films we both have a fond memory of and, funny enough, she suggested we actually put Shrek on one evening,\u201d he told SWNS news agency.<\/p>\n
They ended up watching something else, but it gave Carter his perfect plan.<\/p>\n
He worked on the edits while Andressa was sleeping\u2014timing his appearance in the scene to just before Lord Farquaad says \u201cthe perfect bride\u201d. (Watch the moment below\u2026)<\/p>\n
He was worried she might say no to watching it on the date he\u2019d chosen\u2014December 6. \u201cYou can only push so hard to insist on watching Shrek without raising suspicion.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it actually happened, it was surreal.\u201d<\/p>\n
To propose to my girlfriend of four years, I edited myself into the first Shrek movie!<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n By the time his edited cameo appeared on screen, Carter had slipped away to change into a suit and returned moments later, a ring in his hand.<\/p>\n
