Rick Kern—WireImage/Getty Images by [Jocelyn Vena / Billboard](https://time.com/author/billboard/) ## Jocelyn Vena / Billboard Contributor May 7, 2015 10:39 PM UTC First comes love, then comes a marriage proposal at an [Ed Sheeran](https://www.billboard.com/artist/276089/ed-sheeran/chart) concert. And that’s just what happened during Sheeran’s gig on May 6 in Austin, Texas. The public proposal took place while the singer/songwriter was on stage performing his ballad “All of the Stars.” Midway through the track, Sheeran stopped playing and asked the couple to join him on the stage. From there, the man shared a heartwarming speech with the room about his soon-to-be fiance. He then got down on one knee and popped the question, all while Sheeran was applauding the moment from the side of the stage. Considering all that, how could she not say yes? (Spoiler alert: she did.) Sheeran later posted the moment to his Twitter. “proposal tonight in austin, i might’ve welled up, but don’t say anything,” he wrote.
