An Australian reptile handler has proposed to his girlfriend while feeding an enormous 4.5-metre crocodile. Billy Collett got down on one knee after inviting his partner Siobhan Oxley into the enclosure.
He had used a piece of meat to coax the crocodile named Elvis out of his pond before asking his girlfriend to “have a crack” at feeding the reptile.
But he left her shocked by suddenly announcing:
“Three years ago, next week, I actually met the girl of my dreams. The girl I love more than anything.”
Billy then tells the crocodile to “stay there” and “behave yourself” before turning to his partner to propose. He continued;
“Siobhan, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?”
The reptile handler then joked that proposing was “worse than feeding a crocodile”. Was this bravery or foolishness??
