Romeis known for beingone of the most romantic cities in the world, and one Canadian tourist certainly found this to be true whilevisiting the Italian capital on vacation.
Alycia Savard-Ouellet, 19, of Charlevoix, Quebec, realized that she caught a once-in-a-lifetime moment on camera while checking out the Trevi Fountain, one of Rome’s most popular destinations.
The science student, who was in the city for five nights on a solo excursion, asked a new friend she made on the trip to take a few pictures of her in front of the famous landmark. It wasn’t until later that she realized a man could be seenasking his girlfriend to marry himin the background.
Though Savard-Ouellet is the main focus in the photos — smiling and posing for the camera — the happy couple can be seen in the bottom right. The man is dressed in a purple button-down and striped pants, and the woman in a red dress, black jacket and white sneakers.
While the majority of the photos show the pair embracing andsharing a smooch, one of them shows the exact moment of him popping the question — the man holding out a ring and the woman clasping both hands to her mouth.

Now, she is on a mission to find the couple in the photos, hoping to share the sweet memory with them.
“They are really cute and in the moment,” Savard-Ouellet told theDaily Mail. “It was amazing, I hope I can find them.”
