The Ashes cricket series is famed for its heated rivalry between Australia and England, and when the game is on, so are the emotions. The words are exchanged, and the tension is at an all-time high.

On December 8, the first Ashes Test of this summer in Australia started, as did the battle between the spectators. Australia and England supporters take this series extremely seriously, and tempers flare even in the stands at times.

On Friday (December 10), however, a unique occurrence occurred when an England fan, a member of the renowned Barmy Army, proposed to an Australian girl in the stands.

On Day 3 of the first Ashes Test at the Gabba, Rob Hale, a Brisbane Barmies player, proposed to Natalie. Natalie was surprised by the proposal and immediately agreed to marry him.

YES 🙌

Massive shoutout to Rob Hale, he met Natalie back in 2017 during the last #Ashes with the Barmy Army!

Congrats guys 🇦🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
