Two Tennessee women have captured hearts across the Internet as a video of their unexpected double marriage proposal has gone viral.
Becky McCabe and Jessa Gillaspie were enjoying Memphis Zoo’s beer festival, where they had their first date, and they were posing for photos together. Gillaspie was totally unaware that McCabe was about to pop the question — or that the camera was rolling, Yahoo Lifestyle reported.

“Can we get a candid one like we're talking?” McCabe asks the photographer after a snapshot. As the couple go in for a kiss, McCabe begins to speak quietly, “You’re the girl I just want to be with… will you marry me?” she asks, getting down on one knee and whipping out a ring.
An ecstatic Gillaspie shrieks, jumps and runs out of the frame.
“Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!,” she exclaims, rummaging in purse, and pulling out a ring of her own.
