Many Redditors commented on the thread, congratulating the mystery couple and sharing proposal stories of their own. Others attempted to help with the search by posting the photo in other subreddits and asking if anyone knew the couple. 。"When I first posted the picture, I wasn't optimistic at all. I had no idea that the post would gain this much traction," JTran1 told 。

And then, suddenly..。

All told, it took around four hours from when the photo was originally posted to when the couple was truly found. What a beautiful example of what the internet can do when it bands together. 。
Good job, Reddit. 。
