I never knew that hot dog eating contests were so big, but it makes since that on the Fourth of July we want to celebrate by, you know, stuffing our faces. Joey Chestnut was a contester at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, but he had a surprise to win his girlfriend as well as focusing on winning on the contest.

I think it’s so great that she was there supporting him. Couples who can do things together and support each other through everything are focused on what’s important. I want to know what hoops he had to jump through to make this happen. As the video opens, his girlfriend is being interviewed like she’s just any spectator, but as he emerges behind her and is waved around by the interviewer, it becomes pretty clear what’s about to happen.

Honestly, I was kind of disappointed that he had the ring out right away. Before he even got down on one knee she saw it and knew what was coming.
