Over the weekend, several stars from the Captain America movies gathered joyously at Salt Lake City Comic-Con for the grand tradition of fan-bonding and public merriment.
But the festivities escalated in a palpably life-changing way when one fan (dressed as Captain America) used a photo op with Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell as the chance to propose to his girlfriend (dressed as Black Widow).
@HayleyAtwell @ChrisEvans thank you so much for being there. It was such a shock! You both are awesome! #iAmEngaged
The excitement was evident on everyone's faces.
And both Hayley and Chris tweeted their excitement at getting to be a part of such a momentous occasion.
Wow....I've had the most amazing time at #SLCC15. I've been to a few conventions before but I've never had the opportunity to interact with
the fans on such a personal level. They shared some wonderful stories that I was honored to hear. I'm filled with a overwhelming sense of
gratitude. Thank you to all of my loyal, sincere, loving, and passionate fans from the very bottom of my heart. You've reminded me how
gratuitously lucky I am. #weareallconnected
Today at #SLCC15 in the middle of a photo op with Chris and I, a man got down on his knee and proposed with a ring to his girlfriend.
It was one of the most moving and beautiful things I have been witness to. Congratulations to you both. May you have a blissful future xx
I'm sure Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers would approve, too.
