Actor Tom Hanks was in the Austin, Texas area to promote his new book, Uncommon Type: Some Stories. During a question and answer session, Hanks claimed at one point that he no longer wanted to answer questions, wanting someone else in the audience to answer a question instead.
Taking out a piece of paper, Hanks claimed a man in the audience named Ryan McFarling, had wanted to ask a question to a woman in the audience named Nikki Young. As the couple was invited to come on stage, McFarling knelt down, pulled out a ring and asked Young, “Nikki, will you marry me?,” according to People.

Another person at the event captured the couple, as they gave each other a kiss onstage, with the caption, “A wedding proposal happens at the @tomhanks reading @texasbookfest just now. #love.”

This is not the first time Hanks has been involved with another couple’s happy day. Last year, he made headlines for a story in which he surprised a couple during their wedding shoot.
