Couple engaged at G20 protest
Nothing says "romance" like a line of riot cops and a grungy detention centre.
But it was enough for Tommy Taylor and his now-fiancé Kathleen Bullock, who became engaged at a protest at Queen's Park yesterday.
The couple was arrested on the Esplanade during a G20 protest last week. Bullock as held for about 16 hours, while Taylor spent almost a full day in the Eastern Avenue Detention Centre. He said the time at the holding centre made him reflect on his priorities.
"I am not a wealthy man by any means," Taylor said yesterday in front of the crowd, which called for an independent inquiry into police G20 action. "All I can promise you is one hell of an adventure."
"Kate, I don't have a ring because I was in jail...but will you marry me?"
*Sigh* It's just like a movie, isn't it?
No word on whether Police Chief Bill Blair will make the guest list.

Besides, taking ONE whole day to "reflect on his priorities" (in jail) doesn't exactly sound well thought out when considering "the rest of your life". This is not romantic. It's a lame excuse not to put in the full effort she likely deserves.
Sure she'll be happy that he proposed, but would she have envisioned "the proposal" done differently? You better believe it boys.
I'm just saying...
I've heard enough comments on my engagement to last a life time. From "She should marry a bank lawyer" to "They're hippies and will name their children Destiny and Peace" and now another one about whether we care about each other or not.
Yes. We care about each other. We had been talking about getting married already. I was surprised by the proposal, but wasn't offended by it or thought it selfish of him.
How did I envision the proposal? I didn't. I'm not the kind of girl to sit around day-dreaming about when/how my partner is going to propose.
Is it romantic? Sure. It was an uplifting note to an otherwise horrendous experience. We're in love, we're getting married (soon). Why isn't that enough for you?
