Aquarium proposal couple say they are not romantic

A woman who was surprised with a marriage proposal at the National Aquarium yesterday said she and her boyfriend are not romantic. Christine Buttigieg was reduced to tears of joy as Edward Magri proposed yesterday. The proposal was posted on youtube and went viral. The couple, both aged 31, however insisted yesterday that they were not romantic at all. “We are not the flowers-and-chocolates type at all. We are a very normal couple with a very normal life,” said Ms Buttigieg, a business development executive, giggling at the “romantic” label. The wedding will take place on July 5 next year and, just in case Mr Magri has any more surprises in store, we were asked to keep an eye on YouTube. See video comments above.
