Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson gets engaged at Wrigley Field

Before Friday's Cubs' game, USA Olympic Gymnasts Shawn Johnson and Alicia Sacramone stepped on field to throw out the first pitches.

Both came for the game.... but Johnson went away with a ring on it.

In a video posted to the Chicago Cubs' Instagram account -- Johnson's boyfriend, Andrew East, knelt down on homeplate and proposed with a bleacher full of cheering Cubs fans.

Her now-fiance is a former Vanderbilt longsnapper who recently signed with the Kansas City Chiefs after not being picked up in the 2015 NFL Draft.

In the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Johnson snagged the coveted gold medal for the balance beam.
