Marriage proposals at sporting events are commonplace. We see someone get on bended knee on the Jumbotron screen during a time out to ask their beloved partner for their hand in matrimony. Everyone cheers. Occasionally, there are mascots involved.
But at the Vegas Golden Knights' home game against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night, we may have seen a sports first: Steven Poscente proposed to his girlfriend, Cari, in the first period. They were married, inside the arena, before the third period.

With just over 12 minutes left in the first period, cameras surrounded the couple as they played a "Name That Tune" game during a stoppage of play.
