She said yes! Syracuse couple gets engaged at Battle 4 Atlantis

Paradise Island, Bahamas — Killian Hartough had been planning to ask Kiri Fabela to marry him for over a year.

The couple had scheduled a vacation to the Bahamas, combing the trip with the chance to watch the Syracuse University basketball team in the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Hartough, who lives in North Syracuse, N.Y., kept his plan a surprise.

He stunned Fabela when he took a knee and proposed to her during Friday's championship game in the Battle 4 Atlantis. Syracuse would win the game against Texas A&M, but Hartough might've been the biggest winner of the day as Fabela burst into tears and nodded yes.
