A man proposed after rekindling the romance with his childhood sweetheart 60 years after they first met.
The modern-day Romeo, a doctor named Thomas, surprised his bride-to-be, Nancy, with the grand gesture at an airport in Tampa, Florida.
The movie moment was luckily captured and has since been making its rounds across social media after going viral on TikTok.
The lovebirds first met a whole six decades ago back in high school when they were just teenagers.

While the relationship didn't unfortunately work out at the time leading to the pair losing touch - it's clear that good things definitely come to those who wait given Nancy's overwhelmingly happy reaction.
Thomas first reconnected with his former flame last month and they soon realised just how much they missed one another after all these years.
After spending 'three weeks' talking and catching up on a whole bunch of lost time, Nancy made the courageous decision to fly out to Thomas' home state of Florida so they could test to see if the sparks were still there face-to-face.
As if meeting your childhood sweetheart after over half a century wasn't exciting enough, Nancy was soon left totally stunned to find her former beau get down on one knee before reciting an emotional speech.

In one clip uploaded to TikTok, Thomas - who snazzily dressed in a suit for the momentous occasion - can be seen nervously waiting for Nancy to arrive.
He then greets her with a big bouquet of red roses before pulling out the ring.
"My dear Nancy," he began, "It's been 60 years since we first met, 56 years since we first dated, 10 years since I last saw you, and 20 days since we began this."

The sweet sentiment continued: "You have always been the one I've had a crush on, since your cheerleader days.
"It brings a smile to my face, it makes my heart skip a beat [to see you]. For the last three weeks, I have thought of you every day, every hour and have talked to you every night for hours.
"I have longed to see you again, hold you in my arms, and tell you how much you mean to me."
Thomas went on to tell Nancy how chuffed he was now that he was finally able to 'fulfil those dreams and make them a reality'.

"You are the most incredible person I have ever met," he continued. "Your beauty, both inside and out, has always captivated me."
The loving words carried on: "Your kindness and compassion to those less fortunate [than you] has touched my heart and changed me in ways that are hard to describe.
"Your mind and sense of humour have me amazed and laughing non-stop. You are everything that I've ever wanted from a partner, lover, and friend."

And then, for the best part, Thomas finally popped the question he had been waiting 60 years to ask.
"So Nancy, I come to you humbly today, June 30, with a proposal," he announced. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you and cherish every moment we will have together."
Promising to 'make every day an exciting new adventure', Thomas continued: "I want to grow old with you, wake up in your arms every morning, share our dreams and aspirations, laugh and cry and support one another through thick and thin."
As Nancy cried tears of pure joy, he carried on: "I love you more than words can express, more than you can ever comprehend. I want to spend the rest of my life proving that to you and making you the happiest woman in the world.
"Will you Nancy, give me the honour of being my soulmate in life? My partner in every sense of the word, my beloved wife forever? Will you marry me?'"
Without any hesitation, Nancy nodded ecstatically and replied 'yes' as they embraced in a big hug while a crowd of passers-by cheered for the incredible moment.
Congratulations Thomas and Nancy!
