Kanye West has proposed to girlfriend of 18 months Kim Kardashian days after telling the audience at his concert in Seattle on Saturday that he planned to marry her 'one day.'
The 36-year-old rapper popped the question to the reality star on her 33rd birthday on Monday with a 15 carat diamond ring at the AT&T Park baseball park in San Francisco, and later surprised her with family and friends pouring out of the dugouts, reports E!.
West had arranged for the words 'PLEEESE MARRY MEEE!!!' to flash up on the giant scoreboard.
In a snap posted on Instagram, Kim can be seen holding her ring finger towards the camera as she flashes her gigantic dazzling engagement band while smiling broadly alongside her man.
On Tuesday morning, the delighted new mother posted a black and white picture of her new bling in front of the romantic scoreboard message, with the simple caption: 'Yes!!!'

Kanye was in Los Angeles earlier in the day at the Hollywood Film Awards, and it was therefore unclear whether he planned to spend Kim's birthday with her.
The rapper flew in from San Francisco on Monday to present director Steve McQueen with a special honor award at the ceremony, and it appears he flew straight back to the Bay Area city straight afterwards to see the mother of his child.
Kim is said to have boarded a private jet that afternoon with her family in Los Angeles.

After Kim said yes, Kanye slipped a 15 carat diamond ring onto her finger and fireworks exploded in the sky as the rest of her family ran out of the dugouts.
He'd asked permission from the family matriarch for her daughter's hand in marriage earlier in the day.
Tobias Kormind, co-founder of specialist diamond jeweller 77 Diamonds, estimates Kim's dazzling ring is a cushion cut diamond, worth 'well over £1 million [$1.6m]'.
He told MailOnline: 'Kim's ring from Kanye looks like a 15 carat diamond Cushion cut. As its name suggests, the Cushion cut is a rectangular or square shape, with rounded corners that resemble a pillow.
