Love was in the air at a New York City hospital when two new parents got engaged by their daughter's side in the neonatal intensive care unit.
On Thursday, Teon Kennedy asked his girlfriend, Martine Drouillard, to marry him in front of their daughter, Morgan, who has been in the NICU for the past 10 months after being born prematurely in April. Hospital staff helped Kennedy plan the perfect proposal just ahead of Valentine's Day and shared the story on Instagram.
"The Perfect Proposal: A Valentine’s Day Surprise in the NICU," the hospital captioned the romantic clip. "In the spring of 2020, Teon Kennedy had big plans: he was going to surprise his girlfriend, Martine Drouillard, by proposing at her baby shower. But life quickly changed for the couple. As the first surge of #COVID19 was overwhelming #NewYork, Martine learned that she would have to deliver the baby early due to preeclampsia and severe HELLP syndrome."
