Marriage proposal at Astrodome's birthday bash

HOUSTON – A Houston couple waited in line for nearly three hours to take advantage of the rare opportunity of touring the Astrodome.

As Houstonians were enjoying the Eighth Wonder of the World, Jair Tiscareno proposed to his girlfriend Irlanda Ayala.

Even though the couple had been dating for about two years, Ayala had no idea her boyfriend was popping the question inside the dome.

"He said, 'Are you ready?' And I was like, 'OK.' I thought he meant let's go home, I guess. And then he got down one knee and asked a guy to take a picture. Then he popped the million dollar question."

Ayala said yes. The couple is planning on getting married next year. They're then planning to renew their vows in the Astrodome, if and when it's ever renovated.
