A happy couple sitting in a park while having their picture taken to celebrate their engagement with their pet dog when a gang of ax-wielding historical reenactors came storming over the hill. 

The couple, known only as Jess and Dale were out with their dog Monty to celebrate their engagement and hired photographer Alex to document the proceedings. 

According to Alex's blog, she was taking photographs in Malden Park, Windsor, Ontario when she noticed some strange looking people coming down from the hill. 

Jess, Dale and their dog Monty were out to celebrate the happy couple's engagement in Ontario, Canada

However, as they kissed for the camera, Monty the dog noticed something suspicious from down the hill 

According to Alex she picked out some secluded locations for the happy couple for their photoshoot although after the unexpected arrival, the images have gone viral on the internet 

Due to the unusual nature of the photographs, the images have gone viral on the internet.  

She wrote: 'I posed the couple and encouraged them to do some smooching. Just then, the LARPers started walking into my shot! 

'Being the photographer who has had so many photographs ruined by someone in the background who isn't supposed to be, I was muttering under my breath for them to hurry up. And then they POSED! 

'I proceeded to capture them in the background without informing the couple but Monty wasn't fooled. We then had a good laugh and proceeded on our way. Needless to say, they definitely did not ruin this shot. We left the session laughing with a good little story to tell our friends and family.' 

According to Alex, the men and women with the axes contacted her later to tell her that they were not Live Action Role Players but SCAdians - The Society of the Creative Anachronism who are far more interested in historical accuracy rather than fantasy.
