Fans of romance and Star Trek better get out the handkerchiefs.

Jonathan Lilley and partner Tom Jenkins made a visit to a reproduction version of the Enterprise bridge London’s ExCel Centre.

According to the London Evening Standard, Lilley pulled out a ring, got on a knee, and proposed to Jenkins. There to witness the occasion were their friends, dressed up as a favorite Star Trek character.

‘I am over the moon and completely shocked,’ Jenkins said to the Evening Standard. ‘I love John so much for what he has done and I am so thrilled and honoured we have made history today.’

It’s assumed this is the first same-sex proposal made at a Star Trek convention.

GSN can only think of one thing worth saying to the happy couple: live long and prosper!
