Preschoole­rs help out with marriage proposal.

It’s hard to say no to a bunch of adorable preschoole­rs.

Being in love and on one knee with a diamond doesn’t hurt either.

That was exactly what University of Nevada-Reno (UNR) student Dallin Knecht was betting on when he proposed to his girlfriend Sara Trigero on Friday.

Trigero, a teacher at the Child and Family Research Center at UNR, was surprised when her class of 2- and 3-year-olds were in on the proposal.

Trigero walked out of a meeting to her class and co-workers standing on the Quad at UNR holding a sign that read, “Sara, say yes.”

“She loves the kids so much that any other way I thought to propose didn’t seem like enough,” Knecht said. “This seemed original.”

Trigero said yes. The couple met working at Brew Brothers, a restaurant at the Eldorado Hotel Casino in Reno and have been dating for two years.
