Man Gets Down on One Knee at Brighton Bookstore

Surrounded by books and flowers, one lucky girl was surprised with a very well thought-out proposal that ended with a "yes."

Last week, Joshua Stockbridge proposed to his girlfriend Mikayla Zapfe with the help of store employees at the Brighton Barnes and Noble.

A digital arts student for two years, Stockbridge used his artistic talent to design a Dummies book for "Engagement."

"He placed it in our Dummies section near the business books, at a level that would cause him to go down on one knee," according to Barnes & Noble Community Relations Manager Maria Kelly. "Inside the fake book, Josh made an insert that perfectly held the box with a beautiful engagement ring."

After the lovely bride-to-be said yes, Kelly says that the "sweet" young man had even planned for a table set up in the store's Cafe restaurant, the same location where the two had met one year ago.

Reasons for choosing the location for his proposal, Kelly said that the newly engaged couple shared a "great love for books and spending time in our store."
