Wang Xiang, a young man from Beijing, proposed to Song Yakun, his girlfriend of six years on Monday dressed up as Garfield, the popular cartoon cat.

Song looked straight through the Garfield look-alike standing in front of the restaurant when she arrived that night. It was only when Wang took off his mask and presented her with a bouquet of red roses that she recognized him. As she reeled in shock, Wang then produced a ring and asked her to marry him. Song, of course, accepted, amid applause and blessings from the diners around the couple's romantic scenario.
