“It’s a lot of excitement at once.”

Meet Lorenza Pardo and Louis Bruno.

The Florida-based couple met in college five years ago, and have been together ever since. Pardo is currently 26 weeks pregnant with their first child.

The two recently did a maternity photo shoot, which Pardo's best friend set up for them.

"[She and her husband] were the first people we told we were pregnant," Pardo told BuzzFeed News of her friend. "We FaceTimed them right away, I think two days after we found out, before we told anyone else. And her first thing was, we’ll set up your maternity shoot."

The friend arranged for her brother-in-law, who is a professional photographer, to take the photos for the couple.

But Bruno had bigger plans.

He had snuck an engagement ring to the shoot, and proposed to his unsuspecting girlfriend.

"The photographer had us standing back to back — he said that’s a shot he does with a lot of couples," Pardo said. "He told me to put my hands on my belly, and then I turned around. I was looking at Louis' face, so I didn’t see the ring at first."

"Then, when I saw it, I just broke down," she said.

"I’m an emotional person as is, and especially so with pregnancy hormones," she said. "I really don’t even know what he said. I was just crying and shaking."
