Wedding proposal takes over the Arch

Six-hundred-and-thirty feet inside the Arch, Matthew Nichols asked his girlfriend of five years, Nitya, to look out onto the Arch grounds.

An area couple is celebrating their weekend as an engaged couple after an elaborate proposal took over the Arch grounds.

Saturday, a huge sign - measure 48-by-52-feet, with a marriage proposal written on it was laid along the edge of the park connected to the Gateway Arch.

Six-hundred-and-thirty feet inside the Arch itself, Matthew Nichols asked his girlfriend of five years, Nitya, to look out onto the Arch grounds.

"Oh, this has been incredible," said Nichols. "[I] could not have done this without help, and we did it [in] like two weeks."

"I had no idea this was happening," exclaimed Nitya. "This is just so far beyond anything I could have possibly expected."

Additionally, Nichols coordinated the project with park officials and local police.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
