According to EMT Julianna Arroyo from FDNY Station 20 in the Bronx, marching in the parade was especially important to her and her girlfriend Erika Marrero, who is also an EMT for the FDNY, in light of the recent Orlando nightclub shooting.
"It hit really close to home for us," Arroyo said in a Facebook post by the New York City Fire Department. "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 continued.
So, surrounded by fellow uniformed firefighters and a sea of rainbow flags, Arroyo got down on one knee to propose to the unsuspecting Marrero.
The crowd cheered as Arroyo put the ring on Marrero's finger, and the two kissed and hugged to solidify their new engagement.
