With this egg, I thee wed. Surprise Easter marriage proposal

This is the touching moment a man from the United States proposed to his girlfriend with a ring hidden inside a golden Easter egg.

Jorge Peniche decided to pop the question to Letty Martinez at a family Easter party on April 1 in Los Angeles.

As the children searched the garden for chocolate eggs, Jorge approached Letty with their baby son in his arms, saying that he'd found a golden egg for her to open.

"As he told me to open it, I finally realised what was going on," Letty said.

Still holding the baby, Jorge then got down on one knee to officially ask for Letty's hand in marriage.

Choking back the tears, Letty finally opened the egg to reveal the ring which Jorge slid onto her finger.

Then the two shared a tender kiss with their entire family looking on.

"Now we're official," said Jorge, proudly.
