Proposals are a tricky thing.
Megs and Harry set the bar high with their proposal story filled with cosy nights in and roast chicken dinners – but this couple may have set the bar even higher!
There are not many couples who are so in synch, they run the risk of proposing to each other at the same time, but Jessa Gillaspie and Becky McCabe are one couple who make the cut.
The romantic incident took place at Memphis Zoo, the very same place the couple had their first date. Becky told her friends of her plan to propose to her girlfriend and asked them to capture the moment on video.
In the video (which can be viewed above), Becky can be heard asking her friend to take a candid photo of the two, “like they’re talking.”
“Yeah, look at each other and smile,” the woman holding the camera says.
“Will you marry me?”
Becky, who at this point very clearly holding something behind her back, leans in close to talk to Jessa, and while we can’t hear exactly what she’s saying we can get the gist as Jessa slaps her hands over her mouth, before Becky gets down on one knee.
Jessa begins jumping up and down before disappearing off screen, only to return with a ring box of her own.
The pair is in shock, laughing and hugging before Becky can be heard saying, “I guess that’s a yes!”.
“I guess that’s a yes.”
The video was then posted to Jessa’s Facebook page where it took off, with over 1 million views and 15,000 shares.
In an updated caption, Jessa thanked everyone for their love and support.
“We had no idea this would blow up so quickly! But I can’t say I’m not thrilled, because all I’ve ever wanted was for Beck and the world to know how much l love her. We are overwhelmed with all of the positive responses. Really, you guys have no idea how much that means to us!”
Nothing like seeing true love in action to bring a smile to your face.
