A weekend anchor and reporter in Chattanooga, Tennessee, got the best breaking news of her life while recording a promotional video on set, and she had no idea that such a moment would be coming. Cornelia Nicholson didn't realize that she would be getting proposed to live on air by her reporter boyfriend, Riley Nagel, who coordinated with staff members at their job WRCB. Cornelia shared a video of the beautiful moment to her X account (formerly known as Twitter), and it has racked up over 300,000 views.
"Coming up right now we have the story of two young journalists who managed to find love in the same industry," Cornelia reads from the teleprompter, before questioning, "Local 3's Riley Nagel joins us in studio with a special report?" That's when her boyfriend walks in, and she begins putting the pieces together.
"That's right, Cornelia, I do have a very special report," he says, carrying flowers and a ring box in hand. "Cornelia Nicholson … would you marry me?" She shook her head yes, overwhelmed by emotion. Today also shared a clip on its X account. "Today’s morning boost will be sure to warm your heart! ❤️ @CorneliaLocal3 got some breaking news she was not expecting when her boyfriend and reporter Riley Nagel surprised her while she was recording a promo — take a look ."
