During her intro of letting everyone know just how loved she gets to feel on her show, Ellen calls down two gents from the audience for a wonderful surprise.

The couple traveled to see Ellen for the first time in February and Justin gave Benjamin a commitment ring. . Less than a year later, and only about a year into their relationship, Justin got Ellen to help him propose to Benjamin on her show.

The couple traveled from Florida to Cali to make the proposal extra special, and Benjamin was more than surprised. When asked if he had a clue, he shows Ellen his shaky hands. (He drops to one knee around 1:20.)

Ellen’s reaction is priceless when Justin tells her they’ve been together for just about a year. Is there really a rule these days on how long people have to be together before they get engaged/married? I had someone tell me the other day she wanted to date a man at least two years before getting married. Maybe I’m a hopeless romantic, but I’m all about quick engagements and marriages if people know. Because when you know, you know.
