Following the well-known YouTuber's announcement of his engagement to fiancée Thea Posen, MrBeast fans worldwide experienced a remarkable, straightforward, and passionate interaction.

In the middle of a unique family setting, the bride and groom's families came together to celebrate the engagement on Christmas Day at the couple's house. "My family traveled from South Africa to spend Christmas with us, where both families gathered together," Thea revealed in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE magazine. He requested that I close my eyes because the final gift was a surprise when we were opening the others.

"I purposefully dropped a big box to make a scene before presenting the real gift—the ring—and then I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me," Mr. Beast said, revealing the specifics of the incident. Thea went on to say that she said "yes" right away since she was so delighted and excited.

Despite his reputation for creating large, spectacular pieces, Mr. Beast also expressed why he wanted this time to be private and intimate: "My friends expected me to take a big public step, like a marriage proposal at a big event, but I wanted the moment to be simple and private."

Despite Thea's statement that she would have been happy with a plastic ring, he gave her an opulent rose gold ring with diamonds on both sides!
