A proposal at the top of the CN Tower: She said yes!

After his now-fiancé, Tina Crupi, registered for the climb, we escorted Rabeah up to the glass floor at the top of the tower and got him set up by the stairwell exit.  The wait for Tina to arrive was an anxious one, with everyone keeping an eagle-eye on the exit to make sure we didn’t miss her.  Rabeah was kept busy by interviews with CTV, Global and Citytv, and kept calm by the Panda, who rubbed his shoulders to ease the stress.
When Tina did emerge and Rabeah got down on one knee, the crowd went wild.  Everyone – including the three TV crews – was taking pictures and filming immediately.  After a moment of shock and catching her breath, Tina said yes and was congratulated with a big cheer from everyone on the glass floor.

It was a thrilling moment among many at this year’s climb.  We were so glad to be a part of this special moment for Rabeah and Tina – and we hope to see them back next year as husband and wife!
