If you are an avid Engagement101 reader, you might be aware of my dislike of jumbotron proposals. Well, this one had me bawling it was that moving.

Apparently this soldier had two weeks of R&R during his year long proposal, but didn’t tell his girlfriend. After 8 months of the deployment, he came home during an Atlanta Braves game where his girlfriend would be at with some friends. While she was sitting there, the jumbotron came on with her name and a proposal….but of course she knew it couldn’t be from her man. He was in Afghanistan.

Actually, he was behind her.

Not only was it a surprise proposal, but it was a surprise homecoming too. But what was truly heart warming was the cheers from everyone around. They got a standing ovation before he even got down on one knee and eventually the stadium resounded in a chorus of “USA” chants.

It was truly a beautiful proposal. Check it out below.
