Woman Who Loves McDonald's Has Surprise Proposal Beneath Golden Arches
A woman who loves McDonald's so much that she has a tattoo of the logo got a Big Mac-sized surprise when her boyfriend proposed at the Golden Arches. Isabella Borgesi's love of all things McDonald's runs deep – from family meals every Thursday as a kid, through getting a job at her local restaurant at 14, becoming a manager at 16, and now being a general manager of a franchise that owns 26 McDonald's across Pennsylvania, with around 70 staff. Isabella, 25, from Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, even has a tattoo of the company's logo on her torso, and hopes that, in the next five to 10 years, she will be an owner-operator herself. With this in mind, her boyfriend, Marco, knew he had to tie the famous brand into his proposal in some way, and so he started working on a plan that would incorporate their local restaurant. Marco has been there through it all, Isabella said, from fry deliveries at 2am to being a sounding board when the ice cream machine breaks down. And so, on April 12, Marco had Isabella believe she was heading out for a family meal in the evening, before which she would stop by the restaurant to check out some new Happy Meal toys. When she arrived at the restaurant, she saw a banner reading "Isabella, Will you marry me?" which was stuck to the window, next to a McDonald's branded gazebo with candles and rose petals surrounding it. The couple then walked over to the shelter, where Marco got down on one knee and asked the big question to a stunned and emotional Isabella.
