I do, sir!

A Marine captain got on one knee and proposed to his Navy ensign girlfriend on stage during the curtain call for Broadway musical "Anthing Goes," according to the Daily News.

And she said yes, to the delight of the cheering crowd.

After a matinee at the Stephen Sondheim Theater on Saturday, Capt. Zubah Koweh and his girlfriend, Ensign Amy Sullivan, were called onstage, supposedly to recognize them during Fleet Week.

Instead, Koweh surprised Sullivan with a marriage proposal, according to the News.

"I was really surprised," Sullivan told the News after accepting the proposal.  "I didn't have any idea that was coming."
