‘Since we met in news:’ Reporter proposes to anchor on TV news set

Anchor was recording what she thought was a promotional video

A heartwarming moment between two journalists was caught on camera.

Sometimes, those moments can catch you by surprise, as a Tennessee news anchor recently discovered.

“Now, we have a story of two young journalists who just so happened to find love in the same industry,” Cornelia Nicholson, an anchor at Local 3 News in Tennessee, laughed as she read her script.

Nicholson’s boyfriend, reporter Riley Nagel, then walked out with flowers toward the desk where Nicholson is sitting.

“I thought it would be fitting to ask you this question here, since we met in news,” he said.

The special moment happened as Nicholson was recording what she thought was a promotional video.

And, of course, she said yes.
