Man gets down on one knee after his girlfriend receives a heartbreaking phone call

Toby had always planned to ask his girlfriend Angi to marry him, but when she received a heartbreaking phone call he decided to put his plans in motion. 

And, thankfully, he brought photographer Sheri Cabral along to capture what we're sure is one of Angi's most cherished memories – photos Sheri has given MagicMum permission to share. 

Angi has an incredible bond with her grandparents, and in a post on the Love What Matters Facebook page, her sister explained that they were all devastated to learn that both their grandfather, 92, and grandmother, 85, have only months to live.

"Grandpa's body is just slowly shutting down and Grandma has stage 4 cancer that has spread throughout her entire body," Angi's sister wrote.

"Grandpa is a WWII vet. He is tough as nails, but also as hilarious as they come. Their love story is the sweetest."

Angi's bond with her grandparents is so strong that she got her grandfather's name, along with an image of the division he was with in WWII, tattooed on her back. 

After the phone call, Angie realised that if she was to ever marry her boyfriend her "favourite people" would never get to see her walk down the aisle – so he decided to do something. 

"Toby, being the thoughtful guy that he is decided to go ahead and put his plan into motion. He wouldn't be able to make a wedding happen in time, but he certainly could do the next best thing…..plan a surprise engagement on the beach, so they could be there to witness it."

"We coaxed Angi down to the beach by telling her that my daughter, her niece, would be practising a song in front of everyone for a performance this summer.

"Angi, who is my daughter's number one fan was front row and centre to video her singing. It just so happened that it was Angi and Toby's song.

"Shortly after the song began, Angi turned around to Toby on his knee to pop the question surrounded by 4 generations of Angi's people, Grandma and Grandpa included."

In what we are sure was an incredibly beautiful moment, Angi said yes to Toby before she turned around to hung her grandparents. 

Such beautiful images, we're so glad we were allowed to share them.
