What can make your heart jump from 110 to 140 beats per minute?

A wedding proposal.

One man strapped a heart monitor to his chest right before he popped The Question and then posted the results online.

That his heart rate skyrocketed the moment his girlfriend said yes and continued to hover around 130 beats per minute until the reality of the event sunk in.

Take a look at this chart to see how else this mans heartbeat changed throughout the entire proposal.
