WSU Graduate Gets Diploma, Proposal

More than 2,400 students received a diploma case and a handshake from President Elson S. Floyd in graduation ceremonies at Washington State University Pullman on Saturday, but graduate Erica Mettler received one thing more—a marriage proposal. The proposal came on the floor of Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum during the first of three graduation ceremonies on the Pullman campus. Just after Mettler walked across the graduation stage and was returning to her seat, Devon Schefano, dressed in his U.S. Marine uniform, met her in the center aisle, knelt on one knee, took her hand in his, and asked the eternal question: Will you marry me?Even as the graduation ceremony continued, with more students crossing the stage to the cheers of family and friends, many in the audience took note of the unfolding drama. “Look! He’s proposing!” someone yelled. A moment later a speechless Mettler nodded her assent and Schefano slipped the ring on her finger. As the two embraced, more cheers erupted across the coliseum/WSU News Release. More here.
