FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- Millions will watch the Fayetteville couple that went viral around Christmas time tie the knot during Friday afternoon's viewing of the Strahan, Sara and Keke Show (SSK Show).

The couple's proposal first went viral right around Christmas time when Joshua Powell asked a series of wedding-related questions which ultimately lead to him asking "How would you finish this -- will you marry me?" Where Kiana Myrick said, "Yes I will," without realizing he was serious.

"It's a dream come true. She's the woman of my dreams. As long as she's happy, I'm overjoyed," said Powell.

The couple had been together since high school, come 2021, the two will be known as the #powercouple.
