A New York state theme park Cinderella accepted a surprise proposal from her service member boyfriend when he popped the question while she was at work.
Sarah Cordts, 21, who has played Cinderella at Six Flags' The Great Escape theme park in Queensbury for eight years, said she knew her boyfriend, U.S. Navy Lt. Russell Lidberg, 29, was visiting the park for Heroes Week, but he shocked her when he approached her with a glass slipper and an engagement ring, The (Glen Falls) Post-Star reported Monday.
"He got down on one knee, and pulled out the most beautiful, sparkling diamond ring, and said 'Cinderella, will you live happily ever after with me?'" Cordts said. "And of course I said, 'Yes! A thousand times yes!'"
Lidberg said he coordinated the proposal with Six Flags bosses, who gave Cordts the rest of her shift off to celebrate. The couple said they spent the remainder of the day walking around the park and receiving congratulations.
