David, visibly nervous but glowing with love, went down on one knee and asked the question everyone has been waiting for: “Will you marry me?”

Barbie was overwhelmed with emotion. She tearfully said “yes,” instantly hugging David in a moment filled with joy, love, and applause from those present. The moment was later shared in snippets online — and the internet went wild.
