In a tiny town called Welland in Ontario, Canada a mystery had developed: throughout the town, pink hearts started appearing. No one knew why, and so they became the talk of the town.

An enterprising journalist, Maryanne Firth, started investigating what was going on. As she dug deeper and deeper, she noticed that new signs were showing up next to the hearts, indicating that something would be happening in a local park.

She arrived thinking she was covering a story about someone that just wanted to spread love around the town. And although that was definitely true, she also found out something else: it was actually her boyfriend who had planted all the hearts around town. And he had done it for her: he wanted to marry her.

She said yes, of course, and their love was joined in by everyone else that came by to check it out.

An absolutely beautiful story, and so wonderful that it was shared with all the world.
