Last August 6, Donnie McGilvray posted a photo of his marriage proposal on the Coca-Cola Facebook page.
I asked my girlfriend, Eloise to put the milk away in the fridge and this is what she saw. The “ice” was in the glass. Thanks Coca-Cola for all the help……….she said yes!!!
He used the Share-A-Coke personalized bottles to carry his message, reading,
“Beautiful” “Eloise” “Will” “You” “Marry” “Me”
It immediately gained a lot of attention, almost reaching 1,115,346 likes, 53,082 shares, and a thread of comments from different social media users.
A day after the image was posted, Coca-Cola responded with this picture
According to Buzzfeed, Coca-Cola verified that McGilvray purchased the bottles via their website’s personalized label page.
Coca-Cola said in an interview, “All of us at Coca-Cola would like to extend our huge congratulations to Donnie and Eloise on their engagement. We were thrilled to see that Donnie used our personalised iconic glass bottles in such a special and romantic way. That is exactly what Share a Coke is all about; creating moments of happiness with the people closest to you. We hope they share a very happy life together and will be sending them some special congratulatory bottles to celebrate.”
