When it’s time to tie the knot, both partners usually can sense it. But one couple took this serendipity to the next level, with both women proposing to each other at the same time.

Featured Video

Last Friday, Becky McCabe and Jessa Gillaspie were visiting the Memphis Zoo, where the couple originally went on their first date. McCabe figured she’d use the opportunity to propose to Gillaspie, and she purposefully had a friend planted there to capture the moment on video when she popped the question. So when McCabe and Gillaspie went to pose to remember the day, McCabe asked Gillaspie for her hand—but then Gillaspie surprised her partner with a ring of her own.

“Oh my god!” Gillaspie squealed in the video, before she brought out her ring box, causing the couple to laugh uncontrollably before hugging one another.

At this rate, “Double Lesbian Proposal” is set to become a viral video genre of its own. Earlier this year, a lesbian couple proposed to each other while playing Pictionary, too.
