If you're in need of a good old cry today, look no further for your weeping ammunition than this video of a couple accidentally proposing to each other at the same time.
On Saturday, Tori Monaco had planned to ask her girlfriend of a year to marry her during a game of Pictionary. Meanwhile, now-fiancée Berkley Cade also had a ring close by ready to propose Tori during the evening of games.
In footage filmed by the couple's families and friends, Berkley and Tori can be seen playing the game together, with the latter attempting to draw out the phrase 'will you marry me?'
After a few minutes, Tori can be seen getting down on one knee in preparation to propose to Berkley. However, on asking her girlfriend to marry her, Tori was shocked to see Berkley pull out a ring box and get down on one knee, too.
In the clip, the pair can be seen on the verge of tears with Tori exclaiming: 'We kept this a secret from each other for so long!'
Opening up about the adorable moment to Mashable, Tori said: 'It was a complete surprise!
'I wanted to propose to her because she's such a giver,' she added. She never gets spoiled or gets to be the centre of attention.'
The couple first met online a year ago, with Berkley reportedly driving through the night for four hours to Tori's apartment for their first date.
Berkley reportedly bought Tori's ring September and was waiting for the couple to visit her family in Washington to propose. Meanwhile, Tori has had a ring since January but knew her other half would most likely want to propose so thought she'd surprise her.
'My heart was pounding. I had knots in my stomach the whole week leading up to it,' said Tori.
Berkley's mother, Kristy, was the only one to know about both women's plans to propose so orchestrated the whole proposal so they'd get down on one knee at the same time.
'I was laughing at the crazy coincidence,' revealed Tori. 'And just so unbelievably shocked that something so perfect was happening to me.'
The pair already have a date set for their nuptials: September 2019.
In the meantime, they've got some coordinating wedding dresses to find.
Congratulations you two!
