This 2-Year-Old Helped His Dad Pull Off The Sweetest Proposal Ever
"It was the handoff of the year."
Sade Robinson and her boyfriend of three years, Joshua Womble, celebrated their son Christian's second birthday at Womble's mother's house on Sunday.
Little did she know, that wasn't the only thing their family, who lives in Warren, Michigan, would be celebrating.
There was going to be a proposal that day, and Christian was going to help his dad do it.
Womble had his mother give Christian a wrapped gift, and inside, there was a ring. Christian handed it to his dad, who was down on one knee by Robinson.
Robinson told BuzzFeed News she was "completely surprised" and "had no idea" Womble was going to propose.
Congratulations to my brother and future sister-in-law! The proposal couldn't have went more perfectly. I'm so happ⦠https://t.co/3z1t8t6UT4
That their son played a role in the big moment "meant a lot" to her, she said.
"It made it so much more special," she said. βThat was the part that made me cry."
Womble's sister Jacqueline shared the video on Twitter, and thousands have retweeted it. (Unfortunately, the sound cut out in the original video, but she shared it again with sound here.)
People are going full-on heart eyes emoji for it.

Womble said he'd spent months saving up for the ring and planning the right way to pop the question, but it was his son's role in the proposal that made it truly perfect.
"It was the handoff of the year," Womble said.
