A video by B Golds shows how he proposed to his now-fiancée Diana this week. The couple giggles excitedly while replaying the hacked version of the first level of the Super Nintendo classic Super Mario World, minutes after he’d popped the question.

The romance didn’t end there, however, as the husband-to-be had another trick up his sleeve. He uploaded the first song the couple danced to after their engagement, a “collection of music composed in a synthetic orchestra and spliced together from Steven Wilson, Frank Sinatra and Dennis McCarthy (Star Trek).”
