I came home

A little late

Someone had a bag packed for me

And a carriage awaited

Destination: Rome

To escort me to my very own "charming"

Back to where our stars first collided

And now it was full circleAt the same table we first met by chance

This time he made it not by chance

But by choiceDown on one knee

He said 4 words

Andr/isaidyes

Ohanian (whose Reddit username is kn0thing) responded, "And you made me the happiest man on the planet."

Her post is currently 93% upvoted, which is sort of remarkable because only 7% of Reddit users are being jerks.

The couple began dating in 2015 after things between Williams and Drake fizzled out. They were first spotted when Williams, the eternal badass, chased down a man who stole her cell phone, but have kept a relatively low profile since then.
