WATCH: Tongaat beach marriage proposal with high octane rating
"I had no idea this was going to happen, I knew there was a surprise today but I was not expecting this," said the stunned bride-to-be.
A hot summer’s afternoon turned into a tyre-smoking love story when Mackaylin Govender asked his girlfriend, Shivani Padayachee, to marry him on Sunday at Casuarina Beach.
Despite being almost 35 degrees, over 30 bikers from the East Coast Motorcycles Club turned out to see the young man get down on one knee in spectacular fashion.
The 24-year-old engineer from Phoenix chose the North Coast as the location to get down on one knee while a V8 BMW M3 drifted circles around them amidst the cheer of biking community and his friends and family.
“We have been dating for about a year and I realised it was time to make it official,” said a relieved Govender.

To celebrate the moment, a Suzuki GSX 1300 R ‘Hyabusa’ superbike spun it’s rear tyre and filled the air with purple smoke while the newly engaged couple exchanged a hug and a kiss.
Padayachee was shaking with joy while her friends congratulated her on her engagement.
“I had no idea this was going to happen, I knew there was a surprise today but I was not expecting this,” said the stunned bride-to-be.
The afternoon was filled with cheer and grins as the couple pondered that they would spend the rest of their lives together.
