Shockingly Disgraceful: Couple Sparks Outrage After ‘Shocking’ Engagement Stunt
- Replies 5
Engagements are a special time in any couple’s life, and many go out of their way to make it memorable. Some like to do something simple and private, while others like to go all out and make a grand statement.
However, one couple from Sydney recently made a statement of a different kind when they pulled off a ‘disgraceful’ engagement stunt on a popular Sydney beach.
Apparently, they had set up a proposal at popular Balmoral Beach on Sydney's lower north shore, a location known for its stunning calm water, white sands and breathtaking sunsets.
But photos and videos have emerged of the beach littered with plastic flower petals, sharp stakes and zip ties, only metres away from the ocean.
One outraged local posted to a Facebook page and asked if anyone had spotted the pair or captured a photo of the proposal on Sunday afternoon.
‘They left behind all of their trash, hundreds of plastic rose petals, sharp stakes sticking out of the sand and zip ties everywhere, just metres from our beautiful ocean. What a way to celebrate love, hey?’
‘Nature is not just your background, it is a living being that needs care. We are LUCKY to experience life in a place that is so beautiful, but it only stays that way if you don’t make it worse with your presence,’ she said.
‘If you are going to enjoy it, take some responsibility and don’t trash it. It’s really not that hard.’
The woman's post was quickly met with dozens of comments from other disgruntled locals who slammed the couple's actions.
‘So unacceptable and disgraceful,’ one person added.
‘This is disgusting, and I hope they receive a fine. Plastic rose petals shouldn’t be produced in the first place. What a waste.’ another commented.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only example of beach-goers damaging the environment and leaving behind mountains of garbage.
‘There was a large group taking wedding photos. They were there a while and were eating McDonald’s. When they were done, they just got up and left all their half-eaten food and rubbish behind,’ he said.
We here at SDC would like to remind everyone to be respectful of the environment, no matter where you are. It’s important to remember that it is everyone’s responsibility to keep our oceans, beaches and parks clean and appreciate nature's beauty without damaging it.
Marriage proposals shouldn't come at the cost of nature. Let’s ensure our actions don’t negatively impact the world around us and instead celebrate our special moments responsibly and sustainably.
Let’s clean up after ourselves and be mindful of how we use the land, especially in public places.
