Missouri State history student Marshall Phelan surprised his girlfriend, elementary education student Rebecca Pearcey, by proposing to her on NBC’s “Today Show” on Valentine’s Day.
Missouri State staff helped Phelan’s ruse: He convinced Pearcey they would be talking about making the transition to Missouri State after transferring from a community college.
“We’re not here to talk about college, Rebecca,” he admitted on air. “I love you. I love you so much. … I know that our lives are just starting to take off, but there’s no one that I’d rather take off with than you.” Calling her “the greatest girl in the world,” he asked her to marry him. She said yes!
