Saying it's the "happiest day of your life" doesn't even begin to describe the joy this woman must be feeling.

The University of Mississippi Medical Center shared a video on Facebook of a patient, Andrea Diaz, who just had cochlear implant activated. Not only does the touching video show Diaz's heartfelt reaction to hearing for the first time, including hearing her mother's voice, she had another big surprise in store as well.

"I wanted the first thing you hear is me asking you to marry me," her boyfriend, Kevin Peakman, said as he got down on one knee.

Please pass the tissues.
