An Illinois man found a clever way to propose to his girlfriend earlier this month — and all he needed was a deck of cards. 

As his girlfriend’s family gathered around a kitchen table to play a game that involves displaying a card on your forehead, he strategically placed a special one in the deck, just for her.

When she realized her card was different than the others, she turned it around and read the message: “Will you marry me?” 

She gasped in shock, and her boyfriend could be seen right behind her on bended knee with the ring. 

As the room erupted with screams of joy, she said yes, making it one card game she will never forget.
