Kevin Moran and Molly McGinnis are high school sweethearts who have been together for seven years. In an idea that Moran says he's had in mind for years, he popped the question as the couple posed for pictures in a photobooth.





Moran lured McGinnis to their local mall under the guise of finishing up some holiday shopping before heading to dinner to celebrate their seventh anniversary. There was a photobooth outside one of the stores he wanted to visit and he casually suggested they pop in to take some pictures. Their first photo shows them happily smiling. But right before the second photo was snapped, Moran pulled a ring box from his pocket.



"I immediately started crying and the camera caught it all," McGinnis told ABC via email. Of course, I said yes!"



The now engaged couple laughs and kisses their way through their final photos.

Moran says he was only expecting the typical strip of photos to document the proposal, but it turns out that particular photobooth also was shooting video the entire time.



Moran posted the video to Reddit, where the couple's happy moment has gone viral.



"We are just so excited that everyone gets to see how happy we are," McGinnis said.



Moran told ABC he's just happy to be engaged and everything else is "simply icing on the cake."
