Aurelie Allet, Mauritius’ Badminton player, was in for a surprise after she finished her round one match at Commonwealth Games (CWG) 2018, at Gold Coast. Little did she know that her boyfriend, Justin Serret - Australian Badminton player, would propose her, much to her delight!

How often do we see sportspersons propose their contemporaries on the playing field itself? Not quite often. It is known that extravagant proposals have an equal possibility of a failure; and when a sportsperson or a celebrity proposes the significant other, a rejection in the public eye leads to embarrassment!

Since the sportspersons remain in the public eye most of the times, it is tough to hide their relationships. Be it any sport, Cricket or Football, or even World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), very often we see sportspersons trying to woo their ladylove in an extravagant manner.

Not too long ago, WWE Superstar John Cena had proposed to her long-time partner Nikki Bella at Wrestlemania in the box-ring. Dinesh Karthik, too, married to a person who is an Indian Squash sports player – Dipika Pallikal. Talking about other sports, former World No 1 Ana Ivanovic married to German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger, and who doesn't remember the couple - Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi?

As for Mauritius’ Badminton player Aurelie Allet, she agreed to the proposal made on the badminton court by his Australian boyfriend Justin Serret. The duo had met during the former’s trip to Mauritius earlier. We wish the couple a happy life ahead!
