Bradley Christopher and Felicia Atterton, Dec. 12, 2014
I knew something good would come from that ice rink. For years, I’ve badgered every politician I know, asking “Why can’t we get an ice skating rink in Chattanooga?” Well, we got one, even for just a few weeks. Yes, some say it’s too small. But I say, it’s a start. “Ice on the Landing” has been wildly successful, so maybe it will lead to a larger, permanent rink in the future. One thing’s for sure: it has already produced at least one marriage proposal.
Felicia Atterton said Bradley Christopher talked her into a Friday date night on the ice. Felicia, 28, is from Bryant, Alabama, and Bradley, 27, is from Trenton, Georgia. Felicia will pick up the story from here:
“We’ve been together for six months, and have been inseparable since we met. Friday night we went to the mall to finish up our Christmas shopping. We didn’t even get to the rink until 10:30. We skated for 30 minutes, until their closing time. I didn’t know Bradley had told the skating rink staff to let us stay for a bit after everyone else left. After the rink cleared out we skated a couple laps and he got down on one knee and asked if he could marry me!”
The ring
Of course, she said “Yes!” (Otherwise, this would have been a different, much sadder story!) Anyway, back to Felicia. Why did Bradley choose the skating rink for a proposal?
