When an Australian man named Terry decided it was time to pop the question to his girlfriend of over 2 years, Anna, it didn’t take him long to find the ring – she was already wearing it without knowing.

In one of the most creative proposals this year, Terry concealed the ring in a way that was so clever, Anna was wearing it for over a year and had absolutely no idea. When the big moment came to finally reveal it, she was in shock. “Wait… It’s been in there the entire time? I could have lost it, you f*****g idiot,” Anna reportedly gasped. Terry photographed the whole thing and created a heartwarming video montage of his photos on YouTube just this morning.

It takes true patience to hold on to a secret like this one for so long, but Terry and Anna’s story proves that it’s worth it to see the look of surprise on your loved one’s face. Can’t get enough adorable proposal stories? See more here, here and here. (h/t: HuffPost)
