WHITE ROCK — The closing night of a play in White Rock provided the audience with a surprise marriage proposal.

Audience member Joe Thompson walked on stage Dec. 28 during the production of the panto "Rumpelstiltskin" to put a ring on the finger of Jennifer Tiles, who played the character of Rocky Raccoon.

Scroll down to view a video of his on-stage marriage proposal, at Coast Capital Playhouse.

"(Thompson) and I set it up starting about a month before," play director Susanne de Pencier told the Now, "and pulled in only a couple of other cast members to help at the last minute, so the cast and crew (as well as the audience) were all as surprised as Jenn."

De Pencier and others with White Rock Players' Club are hoping to make the video go "viral" on YouTube.

"Feel free to pass this along to your contacts," she encouraged. "The more the better, and it actually is a really neat proposal, so it is fun to watch."
