The selection of yes or no on a videogame menu has probably never been as important as it was for one young lady after she was asked for her hand in marriage by a pixellated knight.

Her boyfriend Robert Fink, who had programmed the game along with his friend Ryan, was relieved when his hard worked paid off and she said yes.

But that wasn’t before he faced a tense four-and-a-half minutes playing the game, which involved a knight, dungeons and – of course – a princess.

The touching video posted on YouTube shows the future bride settling down to play the game before reaching the final, romantic cut-scene.
