text: One Minnesota reporter made news herself on Wednesday when her boyfriend popped the question to her while she was live on-air. Following a segment on wedding costs that touched on the price of engagement rings, WCCO This Morning reporter Ashley Roberts' boyfriend, Justin McCray, surprised her with an engagement ring of her own. And it was a good news day for everyone involved — Ashley said yes. Scroll down for video. She said yes! Reporter Ashley Roberts was surprised on air during Minnesota's This Morning show by a proposal from her boyfriend Justin McCray (pictured together) Romantic plan: Ashley's co-workers helped arrange for her boyfriend to come out after an on-air discussion about engagement rings . To her surprise, it seems Ashley's This Morning co-workers were in on the plan all along; while wrapping up the wedding segment, anchor Jason DeRush noted that men spend an average of $5,855 on the engagement ring. 'Guys are under a lot of pressure to treat the woman to a nice big rock,' Ashley, who is originally from Florida, responded. The anchors then introduced a 'fashion expert' to talk more about rings — but the expert turned out to be none other than Ashley's boyfriend Justin. Surprise appearance: Ashley was nearly speechless upon seeing her boyfriend, repeating 'oh my god, oh my god' while Justin knelt down in front of her . 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you,' Justin told her, before getting down on one knee and presenting her with a ring. 'Now Jason,' he added, turning to the show's anchor, 'you were talking about [the cost of] rings, and I promise you — a brother pretty broke.' Luckily, Ashley seemed far from disappointed with her rock; the reporter repeated 'Oh my god, oh my god' before flashing her new ring for her co-workers, exclaiming: 'I'm engaged!' Happy ending: She can be seen in the video excitedly telling her co-workers 'I'm engaged!' Before the camera cut away, Ashley realized the whole wedding piece was for her benefit, asking: 'So wait, is this why we're doing the wedding segment?' Not that she minded doing the work. 'Best surprise of my life,' she wrote on Twitter later that day. 'I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. '
