Paleontologist proposes to girlfriend in scene from Jurassic Park

Lee Hall and his girlfriend, Ashley Fragomeni, are both paleontologists — and both really love the film Jurassic Park.

On June 2nd, Hall surprised Fragomeni with a trip to the badlands near fictional "Snakewater, Montana," the original filming location for the excavation scene early in the movie.

"On a very windy day, I coaxed her into reenacting the annoying kid scene on camera, which was really the beginning of my proposal...she had no idea," Hall writes on YouTube.

Watch the adorably geeky proposal below.
