Newly engaged homecoming king and queen Shayne Arriola and Laura Springer pose for photos after the halftime ceremony and proposal. It was a memorable day for University of Nebraska-Lincoln seniors Shayne Arriola and Laura Springer, both of Grand Island. First, they became homecoming king and queen; then they became fiancé and fiancée. After being crowned on the field at Memorial Stadium during halftime of the September 23 Nebraska-Rutgers football game, Arriola surprised his girlfriend by proposing in front of the sell-out crowd. Springer said "yes." September 23, 2017. Photo by Craig Chandler / University Communication.
