Hey, remember that woman who was making her partner 300 sandwiches so that he would propose to her? Well, he proposed to her.

"Words cannot express how extraordinarily happy I am," writes journalist Stephanie Smith. "Not because I have an engagement ring, but because I’m going to spend the rest of my life having ridiculously amazing adventures with my soul mate. My mouth hurts from smiling."

Presumably her husband-to-be's mouth hurts from eating sandwiches.
