'Can I borrow this place for a minute?' Boyfriend uses senator's Twitter feed in surprise proposal to his press secretary

Virginia Senator Mark Warner gave Brett Wanamaker a 'best of luck' before opening his wall to the young man's proposal

Twitter and politics rarely meet the equation for romance.



But in one surprise proposal that borrowed the Twitter feed of Virginia Senator Mark Warner to get the attention of his press secretary, Beth Adelson, it summed up to just that.



Brett_Wanamaker: 'Senator, your Press Secretary pays more attention to this feed than her own - can I borrow this space for a minute?' Brett Wanamaker Tweeted to Mr Warner on Thursday.

Excitement: Brett Wanamaker takes a knee and pulls out a ring before his girlfriend Beth Adelson in the hall as she tries covering her face but easily shows her excited reaction behind

Little help: Requesting the help of Virginia Senator Mark Warner, Mr Wanamaker did his best to reach out to Ms Adelson, the senator's press secretary, for a surprise proposal seen here

Without a moment's hesitation, he got a reply back.



'Certainly. Best of luck!’



'Beth Ellen Adelson,' Mr Wanamaker Tweeted on the senator's wall while including her handle to better alert her to his next four words, 'will you marry me?'

Shocked, Ms Adelson's initial response showed two words more than the one possibly expected.



'What is happening,' she tweeted.



Fortunately for Mr Wanamaker, the following photos Tweeted by a friend clued everyone in on what her answer really was.
