Many fans have been inspired by Dan Levy’s show Schitt’s Creek, including a newly engaged couple.
The superfan of the show got down on one knee before his boyfriend Jonathan at the Pop TV show’s pop-up event in New York City on and asked him: “Will you marry me?”
This sweet moment was captured on camera and shared on the network’s Instagram Story. This sweet moment loved by many followers and fans, including creator Levy. The proposal took place in front of Rose Apothecary, the go-to store for Schitt’s Creek natives and a popular staple for fans.
The couple first met at a bar and instantly fell in love. They told PEOPLE that the most common thing in between was their mutual love for Schitt’s Creek as well as David (Levy) and Patrick (Noah Reid)’s romance.
“We are both fans of the show. We watched like everyone else the beautiful scene of David and Patrick,” the pair says, referencing the big proposal in season 5.
“We knew we saw our love in their love,” shares Jonathan, who is a teacher, and John, who sells and restores furniture.
“I felt that the Schitt’s Creek pop-up was the perfect spot to express my commitment,” John tells PEOPLE. “We bonded over the true meaning of the show like thousands of others have. This was by far the most special night of our lives.”
Levy recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the epic proposal,
“I knew we were going to build towards an engagement. As soon as the idea of the engagement came in, I knew it had to be four gold rings to replace his four silver rings because they were such a part of who he is,” the actor and show-runner explained.
“I also thought it was a beautiful way and an easy way of showing just how well Patrick knows David,” Levy said. “It was an easy way of adding like an extra sucker punch to the emotionality of that scene by saying, ‘Oh, he sees this person and knows what he wants and is thoughtful and caring and has taken the time to know who this person is.’ And I get, too, at the end of all this, go home with one of those rings, which is fun.”
The final season of Schitt’s Creek premieres Jan. 7 on Pop TV.
