Here's how the internet helped this couple track down their sensational proposal photo
Facebook Facebook
MICHAEL JOHN KENT and his girlfriend Fiona Newlands went on holiday to Iceland last week from their home in Scotland.
Iceland coming up to Christmas was bound to be spectacular, but there was a major surprise in store for the pair of them.

When they were in Reykjavik, Michael got down on one knee on the snowy street to ask Fiona to marry him – and luckily there was a woman passing by that snapped this sensational picture

Fiona said yes
But as Michael explained after on Facebook, he hadn’t given the passerby the right email address – meaning that they would never see that gorgeous photo:
So, he included the street that it happened on and pleaded with the internet to help him out

Meanwhile in Reykjavik, Jessica Bowe – the female passerby - posted her lovely photo to Instagram unaware of Michael’s search
She just thought she had snapped a nice picture:
It was only after that she realised the email address must have been wrong – so she reached out to an Icelandic news organisation

And with the search on back in Scotland thanks to Michael’s Facebook post going viral the original made its way to the couple.

Needless to say, Michael was delighted:
While still in Iceland, the couple met up with their impromptu engagement photographer to say thanks

Now they will always have the story of how *that* engagement photo came about.
Well played, everyone.
