Woman proposes to girlfriend on flyboard during Canal Parade

For the first time in their history, dating app The Inner Circle participated in this years Canal Parade, the annual highlight of Amsterdam Pride. A flying Cupid (on a water jet propelled flyboard) shot his arrow on a bullseye when thousands of attendees witnesses a surprise wedding proposal, made possible by the app.

Canal Parade
During the annual Canal Parade, lavishly decorated barges give the term ‘float’ a literal meaning. Participants on 80 vessels soaked up the Dutch sun and put on a show with their onboard DJs, show-stopping themes, and plenty of smiles, aiming to get the message of equality across by pleasing spectators on the banks of the Prinsengracht and Amstel River. This years lead vessel was by dating app The Inner Circle, and was accompanied by 2 flyboarders dressed as Cupids shooting hearts over the crowds.

Proposal
Right before the final stretch the flyboarders picked up Luit Bakker, who planned a surprise proposal to her girlfriend. The flyboarder picked up Luit, and flew her up to the bridge where her girlfriend was waiting. One of the Cupids, Bo Krook, recollects ‘With a microphone from our boat in her hands, we flew towards the bridge and she popped the question. When her friend said yes the crowds started cheering and the girls jumped into the canal for a big snogg’.
