We will never, ever get tired of seeing adorable proposals at Pride, and no one is going to be forgetting this one anytime soon.

Kings Cross Steelers Rugby Football Club, an LGBTQ-inclusive rugby club, posted a video on Facebook of the team participating in Saturday's Pride in London parade.

The march starts out like any other, with the team walking in the parade and joining in the day's festivities.

Then someone shouts "Ladies and Gentleman, we're going to do a line-out," so the smiling team moves into formation around Fernando Ferreira, the man of the hour.

At first it looks like they're getting together to re-create a traditional rugby line-out, but instead Ferreira walks over to his very surprised partner, Greg Woodford.

Ferreira, holding a ring, then drops to one knee and proposes. And as the crowd and the rugby team roar, Woodford tearfully nods yes.

Then there are tears and kissing and happiness and celebration and the two are lifted up over the crowd and — who's slicing onions in here? No, I'm not crying, you're crying.
