Kanye West surprised girlfriend Kim Kardashian with the best birthday gift ever last night – a 15-carat diamond ring.

E! news broke the news this morning that the rapper had in fact popped the question on the reality star’s 33rd birthday in San Francisco at AT&T Park, which he’d rented out just for them. As Kanye got down on one knee to take Kardashian’s hand, the jumbo screen flashed, “PLEEEEASE MARRY MEEEE!!!!”

And if you know Mr. West, the fun didn’t stop there. A 50-piece orchestra played Keri Hilson’s “Knock You Down” and Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful” while he asked Kardashian to be his wife.

Her close family and friends were waiting in the dugout and surprised the happy couple afterward. According to reports, West did ask Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner, for permission before he made his move.

Congrats to the happy couple!
