A gay couple got engaged in front of thousands of cheering baseball fans at a game between the Washington Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates, and the video is giving us life.

At first it looks like little more than a lucky fan in the right seat getting a special prize, a baseball, from Nationals mascot Screech.

When the winning fan looks down at the ball, he appears to read a message written on it, before you can see him say the words, “Oh my God!” His partner then takes a knee, holding out a ring.

And with that the couple, Ty Fleming and Tyler Garrison, became engaged, to the delight of fans, who applauded as they hugged and kissed.

Watch the sweet moment below.
