Cornelia Nicholson, the evening anchor for Local 3 News, had a surprise in store while recording a promotional video.
"Coming up right now, we have the story of two young journalists who just so happened to find love in the same industry," Nicholson read aloud, chuckling in amusement as she realized what she was saying.
The surprise was reporter Riley Nagel, who had chosen the news station as the perfect place to get down on one knee and propose to his colleague. They had met while working at the NBC affiliate station in Billings, Montana, and photos of them were flashing on a screen behind the confused anchor.
Nagel joined her in the studio and explained their story to the audience. "For people at home who maybe don't know, Cornelia and I met in news back in Montana at our news station almost four years ago," he said.
Nagel then spoke directly to Nicholson, showering her with compliments. "When I first met you, I was very drawn to you. You have an amazing personality, you bring a light into a room that's unlike anything I've ever seen, and you make everyone laugh. You're incredibly talented, especially in news - I think anyone who watches you knows that," he said.
He went on to credit Nicholson with keeping him in the news industry and making him better in news and life.
At this point, he pulled out an engagement ring, eased down on one knee, and asked her to marry him. Nicholson accepted, and the two reporters shook with emotion as the ring was placed on her finger. They shared a kiss and declared their love for each other, and sealed the deal with a tight hug.
Since the proposal, they have shared the special moment with their Instagram followers, and have received an outpouring of love and support from their followers. The proposal was a beautiful moment that will live on in the memories of those present and in the annals of social media.
