IT has been a whirlwind month for Madison Catley.
The Coomera woman was crowned the Gold Coast Titans’ cheerleader of the year, invited to audition for the world-renowned Dallas Cowboys cheer squad, and now she is getting married.
The 21-year-old said “yes” to her tradie beau Jye Ford, 24, at Burleigh Heads beach on Saturday, next to an enormous custom-made floral arrangement spelling out the words “marry me”.
Ms Catley had just returned home from training with the Dallas Cowboys cheer squad in the US, but Mr Ford said plans had been in place for some time to ensure the perfect proposal.
“The only thing we couldn’t control was the weather, and even though it rained that day, it actually stopped just in time,” he said.

Videos of the proposal have gone viral.
“Madison’s a dancer so she loves being the centre of attention,” Mr Ford laughed.
“I even had about 30 people shake my hand while I was waiting there, wishing me good luck, getting their own photos with the flowers.”
