As residents waited in standstill I-45 traffic Sunday, some probably assumed it was a wreck causing the backup, or maybe a stalled car. But the culprit in the parking lot created on one of the busiest highways in Houston wasn't vehicle-related.
It was love.
In a video posted on Instagram, Vidal Valladares Navas enlisted his friends to stand in front of lanes of traffic while he proposed to his girlfriend Michelle Wycoff in the middle of the highway near downtown Houston.
"I just wanted to do something different," Valladares Navas said.
To get to a party Navas made up as a ruse, the couple took the highway, which is one of Wycoff's favorite spots. Navas took her on a motorcycle ride on freeway on their second date.
That's when Navas told his girlfriend of a year and half to get out of the car.
"I said, 'Are you serious?'" Wycoff said. "Then I saw all my family and friends with cameras and I looked where Vidal was and he was down on one knee.
"Honestly, I didn't think about if it was a good idea or a bad idea. I was just so happy in the moment. I love him so much."
