All marriage proposals should feature sloths from now on

What better way is there to propose marriage than with the assistance of a sloth? This is not a rhetorical question.

What better way is there to propose marriage than with the assistance of a sloth? This is not a rhetorical question. We literally cannot imagine a better way.

Thanks to a Hoffman's two-toed sloth named Harry, Walter Mccann and Carly Corvin of Tampa, Florida are engaged to be married.

Via Fox13, Mccann arranged to feed the sloth with Corvin at Busch Gardens, where Harry lives. Before the feeding, a park employee presented the couple with a lid-covered platter of food for Harry. 

Then Mccann lifted the lid, revealing a crudité platter with sliced vegetables spelled out to read, "Will you marry me?" Fancy stuff.

Corvin said yes, as would anyone presented with both a marriage proposal and a super chill sloth. 

The musical proposal is dead; Long live the sloth proposal.
