Captain America stars Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell were overwhelmed when a fan proposed to his girlfriend while they were meeting their favorite superheroes.
The Marvel actors were greeting fans at Salt Lake Comic Con when a cosplaying romantic got down on one knee to pop the question.
It was a beautiful moment captured on camera; Hayley’s reaction alone is perfect alone. The moment occurred during a photo opportunity during the convention.
Lucky girl Kelsey Jenkins, who was dressed as Black Widow, shared snaps of her Captain America cosplaying boyfriend getting down on one knee in front of the real-life Marvel superheroes.
She wrote: “@HayleyAtwell @ChrisEvans thank you so much for being there. It was such a shock! You both are awesome! #iAmEngaged (sic)”
The two stars were touched too, with the Captain America actor admitted he felt “a overwhelming sense of gratitude”.
