A couple have spoken out after they ended up popping the question to one another at the very same moment.
While some people's proposals end up in a slap round the face and a drink chucked all over them, others go a lot more smoothly.
Trevor Turk and Corey Francis from Columbus, Ohio, US, travelled to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico for a dream beach holiday.

Little did the pair know both of them had come on holiday with the exact same question in mind.
Trevor - a 31-year-old registered nurse - explained he 'didn't know what to expect' because the trip was his 'first time out of the country'.
While Trevor was planning on getting down on one knee to propose to 34-year-old workforce analyst Corey, his partner of four-and-a-half years beat him to it.

After realising what was happening, Trevor then quickly bent down to one knee too, causing Corey to burst into tears.
Trevor recalled the moment Corey got down on one knee: "I was so surprised.
"I was caught very off guard, but I was really so happy, tears were running down my face, and he was crying too."

However, the nurse admitted he had a sneaking suspicion just prior to the proposal after Corey told him they were having dinner somewhere but wouldn't reveal any further information.
Corey had also organised one of the couple's friends to capture the moment on camera, a photographer named Albert Harris-Russell.
Trevor explained how his revelation to Corey that he had also been about to propose came as 'a surprise for Albert as well'.

"I hadn't told either of them anything," he said.
While some may have been a bit miffed if they didn't get to be the first one to pop the question, Trevor explained how the moment was 'exactly like' him and Corey.
"I'm more of a free flowing person and Corey is very detail oriented, so it's very us. He even made a spreadsheet to plan for the entire trip," he explained.

The nurse reflected on how 'it felt like a dream afterwards'.
He said: "We kept calling each other our fiancées. It was just a giddy happiness that's still here now. You could call it a new engagement high."
In order to 'give [themselves] some time to plan and relax,' Trevor explained the pair have set the wedding date for sometime in 2024.
