Savannah was dressed in a stylish pink floral for the occasion, and had been treated to her own Valentine's Day surprises before heading to work that morning.

The surprise proposals aren't the first time that Today has featured real life couples on the show, of course, and most recently held a wedding back in October for a special Halloween episode.

The couple, Eleanor Molvey and Mckay Blanchard, looked delighted as they said 'I do' in front of the Today stars and fans watching both on the plaza and at home.

Willie Geist - dressed as Elvis Presley - officiated the wedding, while Jenna Bush Hager was responsible for the rings.

Footage from the segment surfaced on Instagram after the show, alongside the caption: "What’s Las Vegas without a Vegas-style wedding?
