Christmas, famously, is the most wonderful time of the year.

People share gifts, spend the day with loved ones and many, many (if our Facebook timeline is anything to by) get engaged at Christmas time.

But one couple in particular have captured the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people on Twitter after their unique proposal was caught on camera by their son.

A man named Jeffrey – or @Music1996Man – posted a video to Twitter of the moment his dad popped the question.

But it wasn’t any old proposal, as Jeffrey’s dad had already been married to the woman he was asking.



The couple were previously married for 20 years, he told his followers, but divorced.

Years later, they reunited and have now become viral stars for their romance.

Jeff, from Ohio, in the US, said: ‘My parents were married for more than 20 years, divorced, fought a lot, went to work on themselves. Years later, they start dating and as of yesterday, this happened.

He added: ‘True love always finds its way back around.’

The heartwarming video, posted on Christmas Eve, has now had almost ten million views.

But it isn’t the only proposal to make the headlines.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry thrilled the crowds waiting to see them attend the Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate yesterday.

And American couple Mike Metz and Ashley Millican marked the occaision by getting engaged in front of the Royal couple.
