The 2016 Olympic Summer Games had Rio all full of love and magic and we couldn’t be happier about it. 

Last week, Olympian Will Claye walked off with a silver medal in the men’s triple high jump and walked away with a fiancé after popping the question to his girlfriend Queen Harrison.

With the American flag still wrapped around him, Claye hopped into the stands asking Harrison to be his forever. 

Congratulations on your silver cuz but a big congratulations to the pair of you on your engagement, what a way to go. Much love and welcome to the family.
