Love was in the air at New York City's gay pride parade on Saturday, especially for this sweet FDNY couple.
The New York City Fire Department shared footage of EMT Julianna Arroyo's parade proposal to fellow EMT and now-fiancée Erika Marrero.

"This parade is monumental for us because of the Orlando shooting," she wrote. "It hit really close to home. We wanted to walk in the parade in honor of the 49 victims. At the same time, I wanted to give Erika something positive to remember from the parade."
Arroyo and Marrero weren't the only civil servants to get engaged at a Pride parade-- in London, a police officer proposed to a fellow officer at the city's Pride parade.
