AFL star proposes to girlfriend at packed cinema

AFL player Callan Ward has proposed to his long-time girlfriend in front of dozens of moviegoers.

Ward was snapped popping the question to Ruby Keddie at the Sun Theatre Yarraville, in Melbourne’s west, on Friday night.

Ms Keddie was visibly delighted, holding her hand to her mouth, before showing off her new sparkler in another image.

“Twelve years ago I met the man of my dreams, six years ago he asked me to be his girlfriend…and at 6.45pm he asked me to marry him,” Ms Keddie posted to Instagram, along with the hashtag “I said yes.”

The Greater Western Sydney Giants player expressed mutual feelings of happiness on his Instagram, writing: “Happiest. Man. Alive. She said yes”.

Ward, 27, moved from the Western Bulldogs in 2012, and is the current games record holder for the Giants with 131 games.
