A secretly filmed YouTube
video of the stunt shows Miss Belyea breaking down in tears as she sits in the
sheriff's car before Mr Vienneau appears with an engagement ring and asks her
to marry him.
The police
officer is heard saying: 'It's highly unorthodox, it's not something the force
normally does, [but] Ben and I have come to an agreement. Photos and video after cut:
'I love you so much. I
want to spend the rest of my life with you,' he tells Miss Belyea, who sits
wiping her eyes. Luckily she wasn't too
angered by the ordeal and immediately said 'yes'.
Mr Vienneau hopes that his
extreme stunt - organized with the help of his sheriff brother-in-law - will
help him win a competition currently being held by New Brunswick-based, Acadia Broadcasting.
Its 'Win & Wed by the
Sea' contest asks couples to send in their craziest proposal stories with the
public voting for their favorite. Those whose video or story
attracts the most Facebook Likes will be awarded a $20,000 cash prize towards
their big day. To date, Mr Vienneau's
film has attracted 380 thumbs up on the site, considerably more than the eight
other competitors.
Other creative submissions
included two proposals while hunting and one during a zip-line excursion. He said of his now
fiancee: 'She the mother of my two young boys, I love her so much . . .
and I want to win her her dream wedding.'
Regardless of whether they
win or not, the happy couple plan on tying the knot next July.
