The sweet moment a New York EMT proposes to her girlfriend in the middle of Pride

In the wake of the Orlando Shootings, this year’s Pride parades had an extra layer of meaning for those who attended.

Julianna Arroyo, an EMT with the New York Fire Department , from Station 20 in the Bronx, who, along with the help of family members, took the opportunity to propose to her girlfriend, fellow EMT, Erika Marrero.

"This parade is monumental for us because of the Orlando shooting. It hit really close to home. We wanted to walk in the parade in honor of the 49 victims. At the same time, I wanted to give Erika something positive to remember from the parade."
