THE NETHERLANDS - On the heels of Valentine’s Day, romance is on the brain. And truly, what is more romantic than the fresh green glow of an avocado. Well, at least that is what food stylist Colette Dike would lead you to believe. With just the power of an Instagram post, a new proposal trend was ignited—behold, the avocado-nested engagement ring.
Believe it or not, an avocado could be the key to finding your soulmate. When Colette shared an image of an engagement ring being delicately planted in the flesh of an avocado on her account, Food Deco, the post reached more than 10,000 likes and over 2,000 comments.
And thus a trend was born. One man particularly swayed by the radiating love of the chartreuse fruit is my new inspiration, Scott, who recently posted a video proposing to his girlfriend, Becky, on YouTube, aptly titled, “Avocado Proposal.” In an elaborately edited 11-minute video featuring “Your Song” from Moulin Rouge! our new friend Scott gets down on one knee, avocado in hand.
“This avocado is our relationship,” he says. “Surprises, laughs, tears...will you marry me?”
SWOON! Right? If you are still feeling the romance in the air from Valentine’s Day and want to get creative with your love, take note of this modern-day Casanova before things start to go rotten.
