Two new members of Fire Department New York’s Emergency Medical Squad (EMS) celebrated their graduation on March 30—and just when things couldn’t get any more celebratory—they proposed to their girlfriends at the ceremony.
EMS Academy graduates Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Antwann Morales, 25, and EMT Shane Mezzacappa, 26, told Epoch Times their story:
EMT Antwann Morales:
“It was planned for 3 months prior to the actual proposal,” said Morales, adding that despite taking months to prepare for it, he was still nervous: “I just wanted everything to be perfect,” he said.
His fiancé, Rosanna Gomez, thought he was going to give a speech for his squad.
“But it was actually for her,” he said.
Although Morales was looking forward to his graduation, he couldn’t stop thinking about what was going to happen right afterward.
