News Anchor Gets The Surprise Of A Lifetime With Adorable On-Air Proposal
October 06, 2023
News anchor Cornelia Nicholson was in for quite the surprise when her boyfriend and fellow reporter Riley Nagel interrupted her promo for an on-air proposal!
Reporters and anchors are seasoned professionals when it comes to rolling with the unexpected. They are used to reporting on breaking, unanticipated news as soon as it becomes available, with very little notice.

However, one anchor was thrown for a loop, visibly rattled by one story she read in the station’s studio.
Cornelia Nicholson is the weekend anchor at WRCB, a station in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Her boyfriend, Riley Nagel, a reporter, also works at the southeastern Tennessee television station. In a clip posted on YouTube, Cornelia was recording a promo for an upcoming broadcast when she came across something she was not expecting. But it turned out to be easily the best story of the day.
“Coming up, we have the story of two young journalists who just so happened to find love in the same industry,” she read. “Local 3’s Riley Nagel joins us in the studio for a special report.”

Throughout the read, Cornelia does everything she can to keep from sounding too surprised.
Surprise On-Air Proposal
After her introduction, her reporter boyfriend entered the studio carrying a bouquet of flowers, claiming that he does, in fact, have a special report. Time for the on-air proposal!
Riley then walks over to the anchor’s desk, gets down on one knee, flashes a big diamond ring and then proceeds to ask for Cornelia’s hand in marriage.
“Cornelia Nicholson, would you marry me?” Riley asks.
She is so surprised and overwhelmed that she can’t even verbally give Riley an answer to his all-important question. Instead, she shakes her head, “yes.”
After accepting his on-air proposal, she places her left toward Riley.
“I gotta put it on?” Riley asks.
Again, Cornelia, still taking in the sweet moment, simply responds, “Yes.”
