Frankfort Cop Makes Royal Proposal In Disney World
"My inner child screamed with happiness," the cop's new fiance told Patch.
DISNEY WORLD, FL — One of Frankfort's finest took a knee last week, but not for reasons one might expect of a cop. While Patrol Officer Michael Pazera was at Disney World with his girlfriend, Jacqueline Scapellato, he dropped to a knee and popped the question.
Pazera, a 17-year veteran of the police, knew exactly the right spot to propose, his now-fiance, Jacqueline Scapellato, said in an email to Patch.
The couple was in the castle of Scapellato's favorite childhood princess, Cinderella. When they were in front of the princess, Pazera proposed. "OMGosh my inner child SCREAMED with happiness," she said. "For real, in front of Cinderella?"
