Meet the self-described home bodies Justin and Michal, who love monopoly.

They used to play on a board that Lebon made in high school, but when he decided it was time to make a new board to replace some missing pieces, he figured this would be the perfect opportunity to propose as well.

His first order of business was designing custom cards, along side his woodworking friend Mark Becker

Lebon realized he should work in a trap door under one of the luxury tax spots for the ring placement.

In response to his friend's request, Becker built the board in just under three weeks, with the wood coming from a 1900s ice box.

He delivered the finished product to Lebon on Christmas Eve.

Here is the genius trap door design at work.

But, for her to land on this space, a larger plan had to be put in place.

The first order of business was to get a set of loaded dice.

Because he needed her to land on a special spot so his next portion of the plan could come into play.

This chance card which asks the big question for him.

When she rolled a 7, thanks to the loaded dice, and landed on the chance card spot, she drew this card from the top of the pile.

Well, as you could've guessed, she obviously said, "Yes."

How sweet is the proposal? He's making it hard for the rest of us out here waiting for that special moment. This is a lot to live up to, for sure.

So, not only are the tying the knot in the future, their future is going to include a whole bunch of games on this custom board.

You know how sometimes it seems like a game of Monopoly can last forever, well, that's how long they've got to complete it. Congrats to this loving couple!
