Traffic stop turns into surprise proposal for shocked girlfriend

Wisconsin[1] police officers[2] helped a man propose to his girlfriend by staging a traffic stop[3]. Footage from the city of Eau Claire shows officers appearing to conduct a routine traffic stop before the surprise[4] unfolds in front of Troy Goldschmidt's shocked girlfriend Moriah Prichard. Mr Goldschmidt asked Eau Claire Police Department to help organise his proposal[5], authorities told local media.

The department posted footage on Facebook to the delight of Mr Goldschmidt, who said: "Thank you so much, ECPD.

I'm glad you had the video because I barely remember what I said.

Neither Moriah and I have been able to stop smiling."
