Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

During the holiday season, there is nothing more romantic than a grand surprise proposal.

One couple is officially having a Christmas season to remember!

Korey Felder decided to go big over the holidays when he stopped in the middle of Rockefeller Center to get down on one knee and propose to the love of his life, Erika. He managed to pull off the perfect proposal too.

While on the rink, he pulled off the surprise of a lifetime while they were alone on the ice. 

When your fabulous client @koreywitak decides to shut down @rockcenternyc to propose to the beautiful @_loveeazy! Korey did an amazing job! #ebcouples part1

As they stood together on the ice with friends watching on, Felder  pulled his future Mrs. closer before taking off his coat and dropping to one knee. 

Even on ice @koreywitak got down on one knee! @_loveeazy! #engagementseason #hedidgreat #ebcouples #shesaidyes pt. 2

Overwhelmed with emotion and obvious joy, the answer was clearly yes and it’s enough to make your heart smile. 

With an audience of friends and family watching with confetti and hand clappers, it was the sweetest porposal in a winter wonderland!

Because, She PRAYED for Me. #aWitaKEngagement #KoreyWitaK™ #ErikaWitaK™ | 📸: @jsphotographyatl
