Guy shows support for girlfriend by wearing her grad picture on his shirt

We want shirts with our faces on them!

Celebrating graduation is the perfect time to be over the top. Decorate your car, fire that air horn, take corny pictures.

Or you can do what this guy did and airbrush your girlfriend's graduation picture to the back of your shirt.

San Diego State University grad Kira was completely surprised when her boyfriend, Jaquan, showed his support in the best, most extra way possible by showing up to her graduation in a very unique outfit. Kira tweeted this picture following the ceremony.

We wish we could look that good in airbrushed t-shirt form.

Kira didn't see his amazing shirt until after the ceremony.

"When we were getting dressed he was ironing his pants and I had to be at the ceremony an hour earlier, so I was getting a little flustered because he was claiming he didn't know what shirt to wear," she explained. "So, he just dropped me off and then went back home to get dressed [and] I didn't see him until after the ceremony. When I did, he didn't show me at first. He gave me a big hug and kiss and told me how proud he was, and then my mom said, 'Show her your shirt.' And then I was like, 'Omg that is so cute" and got a little teary."

His decision to show his support the way he did came from his desire to do something non-traditional for his girlfriend.

"My boyfriend is very creative. That's one thing I admire and love about him. He is always doing something extreme. He always supports me in everything that I do," she said. She also said that he wanted whatever he did to have something to do with pictures because she takes "maybe 100 pictures a day."

Everyone loved how supportive and loving the gesture was, and we think these two are real relationship goals.

Kira hilariously followed the photo with:

Congrats, Kira! If this is what he did for your graduation, we can't imagine how he'll propose.
