The first gay proposal of Rio is warming our hearts.
The Olympics are already shaping up to be full of touching gay moments. Yesterday, Brazilian rugby team member Isadora Cerullo got engaged to her girlfriend of two years, Marjorie Enya.
Enya, a 28-year-old manager at Deodoro Stadium in Rio, gave a speech to the crowded venue before proposing to her girlfriend, who of course said yes.
She told BBC Sport, "As soon as I knew she was in the squad I thought, 'I have to make this special.'"
Check out the heartwarming footage below:
Enya explained she wasn't nervous about such a public act because "[Cerullo] is the love of my life." The now engaged couple live in Sao Paulo.
Cerullo's Brazilian rugby team finished ninth in competition yesterday.
