Coldplay concerts are known for their surprises, and the London show at Wembley Stadium on August 22 was no exception. This time, the big moment wasn’t a controversy but a sweet marriage proposal on the Jumbotron, with Chris Martin playing cupid.
A fan appeared on the screen holding a banner that read, “I want to propose,” with an arrow pointing to his partner. Chris Martin, keeping his playful style, asked him a series of funny questions: “Is this person your partner? No one else’s partner? Are you cousins or siblings, or anything weird like that? Are you AI? Are you real people?” The man nodded through each question, earning Chris’s approval to continue.
Then Chris set the mood with an impromptu song, giving the man some live proposal instructions: “My beautiful brother, here is some advice for free. As we all look on and see you go down, I advise you to get down on one knee.” Following the advice, the man knelt and presented a ring. The woman shyly covered her face before sharing a joyful kiss.
From the stage, Chris Martin congratulated the couple: “Congratulations, my brother and my sister. What a beautiful girl. What a wonderful guy. On a day like this, I encourage you to kiss. I hope you’re happy until the day that you die.”
