It has been recommended by lots of people that taking too many selfies is linked to having a narcissistic personality. In short, the rage has left us with a society of self-obsessed people. Personally, I don’t think that’s a far-fetched statement at all.
Although “selfie culture” varies from country to country, the taking of pictures has still managed to become a global trend. But what if I were to tell you that an unconditionally beautiful story has come out about a series of selfies? This is for all those romantics at heart.
In July 2015, Ray Smith and his girlfriend Claire Bramley of Grimsby, UK, figured out that they were expecting a baby. In expectation of the event, Ray began taking a selfie or two of himself and his pregnant girlfriend each day. Luckily for Ray, Claire didn’t question his new hobby too much as it was to record her pregnancy.
Ray, who has always been a romantic according to Claire, had a secret message in each selfie that he had taken. He worked on the project for 148 days and by the time of Christmas, he had a wonderful gift for his girlfriend which brought her to tears. What was the gift? Watch the video below to find out.
As you’ve seen, Ray asked friends, family, and even his unborn child (via sonogram) to assist him in popping the question. What’s more fascinating is that Claire was totally oblivious to the plan. Now the pair of them has tons of special pictures of Claire’s pregnancy, as well as Ray’s amazing proposal.
