In the midst of putting on a master class in throwing the Cersei death stare during a photoshoot in New York City’s Central Park, cosplayer Casterly Fox received a proposal from her very own Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane. After removing his helmet, Eddie Sutton broke his character’s vow of silence to pop the question to an unsuspecting Fox as cosplayers dressed as Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and even the Night King watched on. Fox later took to Instagram to gush about her boyfriend/bodyguard’s romantic gesture. “I can’t believe its been a week!” she captioned a picture of the two hugging post-proposal. “This has been the happiest moment of my life this far!” See some photos of the couple below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5209634/game-of-thrones-cersei-cosplayer-proposal/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5209634/game-of-thrones-cersei-cosplayer-proposal/"},"headline":"Woman Nails the Cersei Lannister Death Stare in Her Game of Thrones-Themed Proposal Photos","datePublished":"2018-03-21T21:31:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:51:32.138Z","description":"There's going to be a Westerosi wedding","url":"https://time.com/5209634/game-of-thrones-cersei-cosplayer-proposal/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","TV"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb71d640f628cfcfa/6988d5697cdbac5911d592bb/got_7.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb71d640f628cfcfa/6988d5697cdbac5911d592bb/got_7.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"game-of-thrones-dragonstone-cersei-lannister","caption":"Lena Headey in Game of Thrones","creditText":"Helen Sloan—HBO","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5209634/game-of-thrones-cersei-cosplayer-proposal/","name":"Woman Nails the Cersei Lannister Death Stare in Her Game of Thrones-Themed Proposal Photos"}}]}] ```
