On Tuesday, Senator Cory Booker took a break from filibustering to announce via Instagram that he got engaged to his girlfriend, Alexis Lewis.

“Alexis is one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life. She has transformed me, helping me to ground and center my inner life, and discover the joys of building a nurturing home with someone you love,” he captioned the post. “I’m thrilled to share: Alexis and I are engaged!”

Booker’s announcement featured a carousel of photos of, among other things, the couple wearing leis on the beach, holding each other and laughing with their mouths wide open, and the senator down on one knee. Lewis’s ring does not appear to have a diamond in it, but hey, maybe it was just twisted backward.
