MOSCA, Colo. – Sam Bogle is known for her unusual fondness for alligators.
The 25-year-old native Coloradan has pictures of her knee-high-to-a-June-bug, holding gators at Colorado Gators Reptile Park in Mosca.
"I just I love them," she told FOX Weather. "I think they're super cool. I have a thing for unconventional animals, I guess. It's a weird love."
Is it greater than her love for her new fiance? Maybe not.
So when it came time to propose last Saturday, her boyfriend, Pierce Lancaster, chose the ideal spot under a fig tree at the very alligator farm Bogle frequented during her childhood to ask for her hand in marriage.

To add a fun twist, he even got an alligator to be his wingman. The ring was on one of the animal's legs as Lancaster got down on one knee.
"Completely surprised," Bogle reminisced.

The couple experienced a truly unforgettable moment, despite Lancaster's intense fear of snakes and all things creepy, slithery and scaly.
"Not his favorite thing in the world," Bogle laughed. "However, he understands my love for it and kind of just goes with it, and that's what makes me happy."
