The phrase “All the world loves a lover” is taken from an essay on love by Ralph Waldo Emerson, meaning that people are always happy to see two people in love. Such was the case on Sunday when a man got down on one knee and proposed marriage to his girlfriend in the middle of the Mummer’s Parade on Broad Street. I can’t think of a nicer way to start off the new year, congratulations to the happy couple!
