An Irish man (yes, Irish) has made the internet’s heart melt after releasing a video which he recorded every day over eight months and used to propose to his girlfriend.

Gavin Fogarty took one second clips of every day of his and his girlfriend Clara Burke’s life together to show her “just how amazing life is through my eyes now that I have you. . . Even the ‘boring’ bits”.

They are seen watching movies on the couch, cooking dinner, drinking with friends and buying coffee together.

One of the final clips from the four and half minute video sees Gavin perusing through a ring shop, before we see him retrieve a ring from a drawer and propose to Clara in the reaction slot of the final piece.

As you’ve probably guessed, she said “yes”.

The entire video plays to the music of Delorentos, who shared the footage on their Facebook page, saying: “This is fantastic and lovely. (watch til the end!)”
