What could be more romantic than a "drift"-assisted 
marriage proposal? Although there was a price to pay.


In Serik district, Antalya, İsmail Göksu (29) conspired with his friends 
to spring a surprise wedding proposal on his girlfriend Gözde.  The 
evening before last at around 7 PM,  they all met in the courtyard of the 
Çandır Şehit Öğretmen Mustafa Saadettin Küçük middle school.  Amid 
sparklers and confetti, Göksu got down on one knee and asked Gözde
hanım to marry him.  

At this point, one of Göksu's friends, driving a car with plate number
07 FK 354, began to "drift" (drive in a continuous circle) around the
happy couple, while the other friends immortalized the moment with
their cell phone cameras, for sharing on social media.  

However (!), the Gendarmerie also saw the activity on social media
and arrived at the scene to issue fines totalling 78,137 TL (about 
$10,000) to driver S.C. (33), B.Ş. (29) and 22 others.  

Göksu summed things up by saying "This had to be the wedding 
proposal of the century.  We all got together at 7 o'clock but we 
definitely practiced social distancing.  The only thing that was a bit
naughty was the "drift".  Otherwise, everything would have been 
perfect.  My girlfriend accepted my marriage proposal.  That was
the most important and wonderful thing of the day.  The rest (fines)
was aggravation."
