A couple of kissing daredevils took their love to new heights on Wednesday, climbing to the top of the Empire State Building, unfurling a banner and apparently popping the question of marriage.

Ivan “Vanya” Beerkus, 32, and Angela Nikolau, 33, who have an online following for their skyscraper climbs across the planet, flew a banner reading, “‘When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.”

The New York Post reports: “After lingering at the top of the tower for around 30 minutes, the climbers began making their way down the spire to the viewing platform, which appears to have been evacuated.

“As the couple reached a platform at the base of the spire, Beerkus dropped down on one knee and proposed to Nikolau – who was wearing a black cat mask – with a ring that she later flaunted on Instagram.

“The couple was taken into custody without incident upon reaching the ground and charges are pending, according to the NYPD.

“It was not immediately clear if they bought tickets to access the observation deck, but a source familiar told The Post they allegedly breached a mesh gate on the 102nd floor – a publicly accessible floor – to reach the 103rd floor, which gave them access to the spire.”

Memes of the event are already appearing, including:
