It was a 91Ƶshoe-in91Ƶ of a prom proposal.

Libby Elliott wanted a unique way to ask Adrian Friesen to the Ballenas Secondary prom on June 29.

The Grade 12 students have known each other since they were five and Elliott felt it would be nice to end their high school years by going to the prom together.

Elliott had some friends assist her, and she chose the Ballenas Whalers rugby sevens playdowns on March 6 as the day to execute her plan.

When the day came, despite the freezing air, there were no cold feet for Elliott. She waited for a break in the game to show Friesen her message.

With a poster in one hand and a pair of shoes in the other, Friesen was asked 91ƵIf the shoe fits, will u Croc my world at the prom?91Ƶ

Friesen was all smiles after reading the poster. He approached Elliott, said 91Ƶyes91Ƶ, and gave her a big hug.

When asked why she chose a pair of Crocs, Elliot said that91Ƶs what Friesen loves to wear.

91ƵI had to find out what his actual shoe size was to make sure it would fit,91Ƶ Elliott quipped, adding she was happy her plan was a success. 91ƵI had to go back and return the first ones I got because they were the wrong size.91Ƶ
