Have you done the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge yet? While we've seen some amazing videos come out of this groundbreaking charity initiative — watch some of our faves here, here and here — Shelby Muha's Facebook nomination was truly life-changing because it was the moment when she got engaged to Justin Davidson!

Watch as she braces herself for the freezing-cold water, only to open her eyes and find her boyfriend waiting on bended knee with a different kind of ice:

We love that the bride-to-be douses her fiance before jumping into his embrace! Congratulations to the newlyweds-to-be.

Fun fact: The viral philanthropic movement has raised $88.5 million so far (and counting!). Buzzfeed reports that the #IceBucketChallenge was inspired by Pete Frates, a Boston College baseball player whose career was cut short after he was diagnosed with the disease two years ago. His former teammates issued the challenge to their friends, in an incredible gesture of solidarity, where it has since become a national sensation. If you nominate someone and they don't take the challenge, they have to donate $100 to an ALS charity.
