A US couple got an incredible surprise when they proposed to each other at the same time.
Tori, from Texas, had been plotting with her girlfriend's mum to pop the question, not knowing girlfriend Berkley was doing the same.
"She basically set us up," the 20-year-old fine arts student told Newsbeat.
A video of the surprise proposal has gone viral, with 4.8m views at the time of writing.
They've been together for a year and Tori tells us it's the first gay relationship either of them has been in.
"Berkley's family are our biggest supporters but my family have had a difficult time accepting the situation.
"I'm the first gay person in my family, ever."
"When I said to Berkley's mum, 'I may've stumbled into a jewellery shop and bought a ring for your daughter', her response was, 'this is meant to be.'"
So the plotting began.
"We went to Washington to visit Berkley's family and it was games night. There were aunts, uncles, sisters, mum and best friend. Around 20 people."
And it was during a game of Pictionary the magical moment happened.
"It was a crazy surprise to see that we were viral!" Tori says.
They decided to put the video on their Facebook page as it's the "easiest way to keep family in the loop".
But a cousin took a clip and posted it on Twitter and within days it had gone from a few thousand views to more than 4.5m.
The date for the wedding has already been set for 27 September 2019.
"It will be in Texas, outdoor, with a lot of lights and a lot of family."
And will they have a separate bachelorette party?
"We'll do it all together," gushes Tori.

This is a small thing, but thank you for not saying “gay Texas couple” @psencikk. Glad queer couples can just be couples now.
Like apparantly it is now bigoted and homophobic to point out what couples are gay or not? Jesus.
Barf!
Awwwwwww.. That’s as dang cute as a passle of Husky pups. Bleh!
If they WEREN’T GAY, this would not have been considered to be “newsworthy”.
That is just sooooooo cute!
No. Not really...
“Isn’t that special.” (Church Lady)
why is the life of 2 carpet munchers newsworthy to post here on FR? I hope FR doesn’t become like ZH, complete with a army of Jew bashers.
Waste of bandwidth.
>>If they WEREN’T GAY, this would not have been considered to be “newsworthy”.<<
A better sign than not as that means that gay “marriage” is still not normalized.
I hope everything and anything having to do with gays and the legal contract called “marriage” is considered to be unusual — or, as we used to say, “queer.”
Do we need this Crap here?
Maybe, at some point, they’ll simultaneously realize what that certain spot in between their legs is for.
Of course, by that time the left may have succeeded in putting every male in prison for assaulting women in their hearts or something, so the two dykes will be out of luck.
Well hell. Jennifer Anniston just separated from her husband of 2 years. Maybe this one will last longer. Nobody takes marriages seriously anymore so what the heck.
To the BBC, this is considered “News.”
First alternative relationship either of them has been in and she’s only 20.
Fag hag mum encouraged it.

This is going to last 2.2 seconds.
What is ZH? And I would guess it was posted because a lot of cultural perversions that hit the news get batted around. Go breathe into a bag, it can help if you hyperventilate.
Almost as barf-worthy as the recent post of the cross-dressing man "breast feeding" a baby.
