When it comes to grand romantic gestures, schoolteacher Mike Hansen is in a class of his own.
He devised a very special way of proposing to his teacher girlfriend, Holly Bradburn, by using her class of five-year-olds and some alphabet cards.
Hansen, 27, arranged a surprise performance by Bradburn's 26 Primary One students, who danced to the song Marry You by Bruno Mars and then one by one held up cards of hearts and letters that spelled out: 'Will you marry me?'
The whole romantic scene was recorded by a colleague who uploaded the proposal on to YouTube. By last night the video had been viewed more than 600 times.
At one point, when only the two words 'Will you' are visible, Bradburn wipes away tears as it begins to dawn on her what is going on.
The clip ends with Hansen getting down on one knee and presenting a ring to Bradburn as her class cheers.
The romantic proposal took place on Tuesday during a physical-education lesson at Renaissance College, in Ma On Shan, where the couple, who are both New Zealanders, have taught since 2008.
