Damn. Damn, damn, damn is it dusty in here. Sometimes, the events that follow the tragedy are the most important takeaway. James Costello, who was injured in the Boston Marathon bombings back in April, proposed to his girlfriend while on an all expense paid, 10-day cruise for survivors and first responders in Lyon, France. The trip was paid for by Vantage Deluxe World Travel.

The story only gets better. Costello’s girlfriend is his rehab nurse, Krista D’Agostino. Costello, known as “Bim,” posted this message to his Facebook page on Sunday:

That’s just awesome.
