When Cody Terry asked his girlfriend Kendra Payne to marry him, he made sure it would go down in history. As the first man ever, he proposed in front of the entire Texas House of Representatives. When he got down on one knee, she did the only sensible thing to do: She ran away screaming…

“I hit the knee. I open the box, and the ring is showing, and I tell her ‘I love you and Kendra, will you marry me?’ She’s kind of freaking out about things, and so, she actually runs off the other direction toward the steps. All I’m thinking is, ‘I’m on one knee and I’m not going look like I’m going to rope her into a marriage, so I’m going to stay here on my knee until she comes back’,” said Cody.

“I just know I screamed ‘yes’ a few times. I’ve watched the video over and over. It was great. It was awesome,” said Kendra.

As lawmakers clapped for the newly-engaged couple, Speaker Craddick announced that everyone had just witnessed a first in the House of Representatives.

I think it’s a great way to pop the question.
