She’s going to pretend it didn’t bother her that he pulled her out at mile 16...but it will. For sure.

In fairness to the couple, Kaitlyn looked happy as the proposal was unfolding, said yes, and continued on the marathon. So maybe she didn't mind it too much. And it sounds like things went over pretty well in the moment too - at least, according to Kathleen Figueroa, Dennis' cousin. She told CBS:She’s going to pretend it didn’t bother her that he pulled her out at mile 16...but it will. For sure.

"She cried a little bit, said yes, hugged him and then said 'OK, I have to go finish my race.'"Kathleen also explained the reason that Dennis popped the question during the middle of the race, rather than the finish line. She said that he had been hoping to propose a threw first stop of the race that was in Manhattan - and Mile 16 was located near the Queensboro Bridge, the one which connects Queens and midtown Manhattan. Kaitlyn ended up finishing the marathon with a time of 4 hours and 24 minutes. Featured image via CBS.
