'Game of Thrones' cosplay photoshoot turned into the cutest proposal
Grab your pens, fanfiction writers, because the most unexpected Game of Thrones ship has taken off.
Well to be fair, it's not actually a character pairing, but rather two lucky cosplayers.
During a cosplay photoshoot at Central Park's Belvedere castle, the cosplayer dressed up as the Mountain (Eddie Sutton) got down on one knee and popped the question to one surprised Cersei Lannister (cosplayer Jaclyn Nicole, known as Casterly Fox).

Cersei and the Mountain were not the only ones featured in this photoshoot, which, according to photographer, Jason Laboy, featured about twenty participants in total, some coming as far as Canada, united by their love of the show and of cosplay.
The Central Park location was chosen because it made a great backdrop for the shoot, says Laboy.
Though the whole shoot was organized by Nicole, the proposal was a surprise from her long-time boyfriend Sutton, and resulted in the most epic engagement pictures.
Engagement photoshoots are usually heartwarming, but engagement photshoots involving armor, crowns, and the citizens of Westeros are on another level.
Congratulations to the happy couple! May your wedding plans work out better than some other Westeros weddings.
