In the photos, a man dressed up as Daphne proposed on bended knee to his partner, who covered their mouth in surprise. The pair then hugged before Lillard walked over and seemingly congratulated them.
“I am privileged to see the most extraordinary things in my con line!” Lillard commented. “Humans are beautiful.”
