Heart-stopping moment catches on camera as Michigan man's proposal takes an unexpected turn.
Trevor Van Camp was all set to pop the question to his girlfriend at Boyne Mountain Resort in Michigan, but fate had other plans. As he dropped down onto one knee and revealed the sparkling ring, disaster struck – literally.
A sudden gust of wind caught the ring, sending it slipping from Van Camp's fingers like a runaway bullet. What followed was an awe-inspiring, albeit terrifying, spectacle as the precious diamond soared through the air, its descent eerily slow before plummeting 120 feet towards the snow-covered ground below.
Witnesses described the scene as "surreal" and "shocking," watching in horror as the ring seemed to hang suspended, frozen time for a split second, before it vanished into the swirling white.
Fortunately, Van Camp's quick-thinking girlfriend didn't let the momentous occasion fall flat. In an act of pure instinct, she leapt forward – mere feet away from certain heartbreak – to save her stunned fiancé and ring. The resulting image captured by a nearby camera, capturing every agonizing detail, is now being shared far and wide on social media.
The unlikely hero's lightning-fast reflexes prevented disaster for Van Camp, whose moment of trepidation turned into an indelible memory – one he won't soon forget.
