October 6 American photographer Matthew Dippel took the picture unfamiliar to him men and women who were on top of a cliff in a yosemite national park. A man, standing on one knee, made an offer to his companion. Personally, Dippel did not meet with the heroes of his photograph.
A few days later, he posted a snapshot on Facebook, wrote Medusa. Dippel wanted to find the heroes of the picture and asked the subscribers to help him in this. Thousands of people responded to his request. Thanks to their repost and comments, many publications, including local ones, wrote about this story.
The man in the picture was Charles Bear. From instagram he learned that a huge number of people are looking for him and his companion right now. He immediately wrote to Dipple on Facebook and told the story behind this photo.
It turned out that Bir had already made an offer to his bride Melissa Ngo for the second time. For the first time he asked for her hands back in February; then Bir did it for grandma Ngo, who constantly said that they should get married while she was still alive. His bride agreed.
However, Bir wanted his marriage proposal to be special. He knew that his bride dreamed of something “epochal”, because Bir had decided to call her in marriage again - on a rock with a view of the yosemite park.
Ngo again agreed to his proposal. Their wedding is scheduled for April 2019.
“This is not the first photo of a hand offering at this point. Look at the geolocation of "Taft-point" and you will see a lot of similar images, so I am surprised at the popularity of the photo, "- says the photographer.
Taft Point is one of the most popular places in the park. Some couples come there even in wedding dresses.
Although this place offers a breathtaking view, it’s easy to get there - the point is at a distance of about 3,5 km from the nearest parking lot.
