These days it's not enough for your love to be made official by the Government of the State of New York—it also needs to be be sanctified on THE IRON THRONE. A CBS reporter happened to be filming a fluff segment about the new Game of Thrones exhibit last week when hard news broke right before her eyes: a gentleman who shares a great passion for the fantasy series with his beloved proposed to her as she sat on the Iron Throne. Here's how the gushing newscaster narrates the adorkable scene live:
He's talking about how they've had a lot of great memories watching the show together and he knows they love each other and the show. He's promising her something... Here it is... He's promised her all of his love and his devotion, they've watched the show together for all of these seasons, but it's his love for her that tops everything else! YAAAAY!
