Video: Weathercaster Receives Awkward On-Air Proposal During WJBF Newscast

Jenna Lee Thomas‘s weather forecast was interrupted Sunday night by a man in a tuxedo. Thomas’s boyfriend Eric surprised her during WJBF‘s evening newscast and slowly got down on one knee (video above).

The station re-aired the surprise on-air proposal during its daytime newscasts on Monday. Eric apparently contacted WJBF anchor Jillian Benfield two weeks ago to begin planning the surprise. [h/t NewsBlues]
