WATCH: Paula Malolepszy got the surprise of a lifetime when her boyfriend proposed to her at the Montreal-West Canada Day festivities. Global’s Gloria Henriquez reports.

MONTREAL-WEST – When Paula Malolepszy was getting ready for this year’s Canada Day festivities, she didn’t know she was in for the surprise of her lifetime.

Canada Day celebrations at Strathearn Park in Montreal West were under way July 2 – one day later than planned because of the rain – when her boyfriend, Mark Przybylowski, hopped on stage and grabbed the microphone.

It was the couple’s one-year anniversary and Malolepszy didn’t see what was to come.

“We laugh all day together. You’re the funniest, most beautiful, smartest, kindest, hottest woman I’ve met in my life.”

“It was a day I will never forget,” said Przybylowski.
