My daddy used to sing this song around the house all the time, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore". The moon has always been associated with love and romance.  A North Carolina couple went viral on TikTok after getting engaged during a super moon in the western part of the state.

Andrew Renfro asked Abby Powell to marry him after a hike in our North Carolina mountains. Over 3.3 million people have viewed their epic engagement video on social media.  The video and pictures were shot by Andrew's brother according to abc7ny.com.

Andrew says he wanted to ask Abby for her hand in marriage for awhile but wanted to ask for the perfect lunar moment.  For more information and to see the video and pictures go here.
