Couple Gets Engaged at 'Schitt's Creek' Pop-Up After Being Inspired by Dan Levy's On-Screen Love

Dan Levy’s showSchitt’s Creekhas inspired many fans, including a newly engaged couple.

The couple, who met one night at a bar and immediately hit it off, tells PEOPLE that one of the critical elements of their relationship is their mutual love forSchitt’s Creekas well as David (Levy) and Patrick (Noah Reid)’s romance.

“We are both fans of the show. We watched like everyone else the beautiful scene of David and Patrick,” the pair says, referencing the big proposal in season 5.

“We knew we saw our love in their love,” shares Jonathan, who is a teacher, and John, who sells and restores furniture.

Audiences were surprised over the emotional proposal Patrick did during the couple’s hike that quickly went awry after a branch went straight through Patrick’s shoe and David was forced to carry his boyfriend to the top of the mountain.

But in the end, it was all worth it: Patrick got down on bended knee and asked David to marry him with four 24-karat gold engagement rings — an exact replica of the silver rings he’s worn since the show began.

Levy recently spoke withEntertainment Weeklyabout the epic proposal, revealing that the milestone was always in the works for David and Patrick.

“I knew we were going to build towards an engagement. As soon as the idea of the engagement came in, I knew it had to be four gold rings to replace his four silver rings because they were such a part of who he is,” the actor and showrunner explained.
