Second-grade teacher Rachel Leibold was left speechless when her boyfriend, Austin, proposed to her in front of her entire class during a mystery reader session.

Leibold, 24, hosts a mystery reader for her students every Friday at West Clay Elementary School in Carmel, Indiana. Austin, also 24, had been planning the proposal for weeks, working with the school's principal to make it a complete surprise.

Austin revealed himself as the mystery reader. After finishing the story, he told the class there was one special page left that no one had ever heard before. That's when he popped the question.

Watch the video above to see this storybook proposal unfold.
