One future mother-in-law's video has gone viral after capturing a heartfelt proposal during a night of playing a home version of "Family Feud."

Fayetteville couple Joshua Powell and Kiana Myrick shared a moment seen so far, by over 1.3 million people. Powell asked Myrick a series of wedding-related questions on Dec. 23 like "name a day a woman always dreams about" and "name something a woman wears all white to."

Finally, he said, "How would you finish this -- will you marry me?" Myrick said, "Yes, I will," and laughed without realizing that he was actually serious, according to ABC News' Raleigh affiliate, WTVD.

"He wanted to ensure I would be here for his big day," Williams told ABC News.

Williams said they planned on Myrick answering questions during the fast money round. "She] had no idea. No one at the party [knew], but us and her mom until they made her go out of the room."
