Filipino couple get engaged at Global Village Dubai

  DUBAI - It was something special about the festive atmosphere at Global Village that brought a man down on one knee, right under the giant festive tree at Celebration Walk. It was Francis Sigaya's first-ever visit to Global Village when he was overwhelmed by the park's festive spirit and proposed to his girlfriend Izume Niwa. The proposal surprised her and other guests who had come to the park to enjoy the weekend festive celebrations. The couple is tying the knot this month in an intimate ceremony being held in Dubai. "I felt awkward when people started staring at us but the background was so lovely, with the festive tree and festive music that it all felt perfect," said Izume. Izume, 31, and Francis 33, both Filipinos, met on Facebook and have known each other for a year. Their friendship blossomed soon after, said Izume. "Global Village is a special place and we are happy to start a new phase of our life with the festive spirit around us," said Izume. ICA/Expat Media
