Spoiler: She said yes.

Although the words on the Coke bottles are unavailable to order on the Coke website, many people are using Photoshop to create their own personalised bottle labels, such as the “Mambo Number 5” Coke bottles that went viral last week. It is unclear if McGilvray printed off his own labels or digitally altered the image.
The original photo has since had over 1 million likes and 50,000 shares on Facebook, and the comments underneath the photo suggest that many people found the proposal very romantic.

Coca-Cola confirmed that McGilvray ordered the bottle labels using the personalised label page. Coca-Cola told BuzzFeed: “All of us at Coca-Cola would like to extend our huge congratulations to Donnie and Eloise on their engagement. We were thrilled to see that Donnie used our personalised iconic glass bottles in such a special and romantic way. That is exactly what Share a Coke is all about; creating moments of happiness with the people closest to you. We hope they share a very happy life together and will be sending them some special congratulatory bottles to celebrate.” BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () if (BF_STATIC.bf_test_mode) localStorage.setItem(‘update_posted_date’, ‘2014-08-11 06:31:41 -0400′); ); BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () document.getElementById(“update_article_update_time_3566093″).innerHTML = UI.dateFormat.get_formatted_date(‘2014-08-11 06:31:41 -0400′, ‘update’); );

But sadly, no trumpet. BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () if (BF_STATIC.bf_test_mode) localStorage.setItem(‘posted_date’, 1407402572); ); BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () document.getElementById(“update_posted_time_3410800″).innerHTML = “posted on ” + UI.dateFormat.get_formatted_date(1407402572); );
Twitter user @QuantumPirate shared this picture of all of the Mambo No. 5 names on Coke bottles.
“A little bit of Monica in my life /A little bit of Erica by my side /A little bit of Rita is all I need /A little bit of Tina is what I see /A little bit of Sandra in the sun /A little bit of Mary all night long /A little bit of Jessica, here I am…”

update
As much as we wanted to believe it was real, Gawker points out some of the names on the bottles were never part of the Coke campaign.
Still a Photoshop win. BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () if (BF_STATIC.bf_test_mode) localStorage.setItem(‘update_posted_date’, ‘2014-08-10 10:12:06 -0400′); ); BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () document.getElementById(“update_article_update_time_3563042″).innerHTML = UI.dateFormat.get_formatted_date(‘2014-08-10 10:12:06 -0400′, ‘update’); );
