Date night is always special, but when one couple decided to spend it painting together, it ended up being a much more significant occasion than this woman realized! In a sweet video on social media, a boyfriend and girlfiend sat down to paint portraits of each other as a fun activity. However, there was a catch: neither of them could peek at the other’s artwork until it was completely finished! This allowed the boyfriend to carry out a very clever surprise.
When it came time for the couple’s paint night portrait reveal, the woman went first. Her partner was extremely impressed by the artwork she had created. He thought that the likeness between himself and his portrait was uncanny!
Next, it was the man’s turn to show off his painting. However, he surprised his girlfriend by choosing not to paint her at all. Instead, he handed over a portrait of an engagement ring flanked by little hearts. Around it, he’d written the words “Will you marry me?”
When the woman saw the artwork her boyfriend had created during the couple’s paint night, her jaw dropped. She was so stunned, she could hardly believe what was happening. Be aware that, in the video below, there is some NSFW language.
Best. Paint night. Ever.
The rest of this couple’s special moment took place off-screen. Although the camera had been set down on the table, you could still hear the conversation. In case you were wondering, the girlfriend’s answer was yes!
Commenters loved this creative proposal idea! Many also respected the couple’s decision not to film the most intimate part of this magical paint night.

“Let’s normalize putting the phone down on special occasions,” wrote one user. “Some moments are to be lived, not filmed.”
Another added, “I love that he put the phone down to have an authentic moment.”
We’re wishing this sweet couple a beautiful life together and many, many more paint nights to come!
