Out actor Daniel Franzese proposed to his boyfriend at the North Hollywood Starbucks where the pair met two years ago.
Franzese, who is best known for playing Damian in the 2004 film Mean Girls and was last seen on HBO's gay drama Looking, recruited some staffers to help him with his proposal.
When Franzese's boyfriend, Joseph Bradley Phillips, who works in fashion marketing, was given his order, the barista offered him a “new drink” to sample.
“I think you will love it for the rest of your life,” she told him.
Inside the empty cup was a ring, which Franzese fished out as he got down on one knee.
“Since I first saw you here, you have opened your heart to me,” Franzese told his future groom. “And I vow to God that for the rest of my life to honor and protect that heart if you will be my husband. Will you marry me?”
“Yeah, papi,” Phillips answered.
Franzese later thanked his fans for their well wishes.
“Love to all who have expressed joy for our engagement! We are beyond happy and so lifted. #loveislove @Joeysaidthat loves @WhatsupDanny,” he tweeted.
