WRCB channel 3 news anchor Cornelia Nicholson was recording some promo clips for the 11 o'clock news last weekend when a story popped up on the teleprompter that she hadn't read. She almost lost it when she saw the image of herself and her boyfriend, reporter Riley Nagel, on the screen. Nagel had arranged a surprise proposal to be taped for posterity. His initial idea was to do it during the live newscast, but his supervisors decided a taping session would be better in case anything went wrong. Nothing went wrong, outside of both broadcasters being visibly nervous, and the recorded proposal was shared with the television audience on the late news that night.
The two had met while working together in Billings, Montana, and when Nicholson landed a job at the Chattanooga, Tennessee, TV station, Nagel followed her, taking a job at FedEx until he was also hired at WRCB. -via Fark
