For Nicky Dods a fun afternoon out with friends at Rotorua Canopy Tours turned into one of the most memorable moments of her life.
Little did the Rotorua woman know her boyfriend, electrician Corbin Connor, had been planning a way of proposing that would stay with her forever.
Working with the staff at Canopy Tours, a plan was hatched. Everyone was in on it and the moment unfolded perfectly.
Half-way through the tour, high in the treetops with all her friends having flown down the longest zipline on the tour, Nicky and Corbin found themselves alone high above a forested valley on a perfect autumn afternoon.
After the event Nicky admitted that moments before Corbin dropped to one knee, the thought had crossed her mind that she was in the perfect place for a marriage proposal.
