They revealed that they were engaged by posting a photo standing in front of a Burger King restaurant in Springfield, like the snapshot above.

According to USA Today, the couple knew each other since kindergarten and rolled with the name "Burger King" after a motivational speaker pointed commented on their name combination while they were in fifth grade.

"We have yet to escape the teasing, but we have fully embraced our nickname," King said in an interview.

A Burger King spokesman revealed that the company felt an urge, and wanted to help, because they felt their involvement was predestined.

"On so many levels it felt like fate; they found each other and their story found us,"  Eric Hirschhorn stated.

According to The State Journal-Register, King had reached out to the franchise once before, but was unsuccessful at that time.
