This is the viral moment a woman is sent on a scavenger hunt around a library before spelling out ‘will you marry me’ and finding her boyfriend outside the building already down on one knee.

The romantic clip was shared by the groom-to-be Cellas Hayes on TikTok, where it has gone viral with over a million views.

Cellas told Newsflash he has been in a relationship with Mweyeria Offord for five years and that they share a one-year-old son called Caspian Hayes.

He said he popped the question at the J. D. Williams Library at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi, and that it was filmed by a friend of a friend.

Cellas said: “I mentally planned it all for a year, but in all actuality, I put everything into works and together in three days.

“It was relatively easy. As parents and graduate students, we rarely get free time. So I told her that we deserved a date night and we were going to City Grocery, a nice restaurant.

“Before we went, I told her I ordered a book from the library and she had to run in and get it so I could hold the car since we do not have parking right beside the building.”

In the footage, Mweyeria is seen being sent on a scavenger hunt around the library before realising why she is really there.

Cellas added: “I am expected to receive my Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Science/Pharmacology. I consider myself a neuroscientist by my research.

“Mweyeria is currently pursuing a Master’s in Higher Education from Mississippi College with hopes in working in the higher education field to make college more equitable for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. She previously served as a teacher for North Panola Middle School (English Language Arts).”
