Like many Canadian coffee drinkers at this time of year,Jaimie Baisley religiously rolls up the rim of her empty Tim Horton's coffee cup to see if she's won a prize.

Saturday morning was no exception, but after 12straight "Please Play Agains" in a row the 36-year-old Etobicoke woman wasn't expecting much. 

Imagine her delight then to find a very special, very personal surprise -- something not listed among the donuts, coffees and SUVs on the company's prize list.

My proposal! Good job honey! http://pic.twitter.com/iFXivqgHTlJaimieB

The story goes that Baisley's boyfriend Jeff Chapman, 37, came into her room with two hot cups of Tim Horton's coffee Saturday morning.

Knowing how much she loved to play the game of chance, Chapman let her roll up the rims on both her own and his coffee for a chance to win.

The first cup was a dud. The second contained a message: "Will you marry me?"

Chapman pulled out a ring, got down on one knee, and waited for a reply.

"I said yes, yes, yes," Baisley told the Huffington Post of her now-fiancee's unique proposal.

And then she shared the news on Twitter, to much love from her followers and friends.

"My husband and I met at tim hortons 10 years ago and Sept. 8th were recently married," wrote site user @tarabj3 in October. "The best part of our day, stopping at Tim Hortons to share a cup of coffee, xo."

User HollyMacKenzie shared a similar story: "In November 2010, I met my future husband for the first time at our local Tim Horton's. I'll remember the day forever, where he was seated and how I felt. So when he wanted to return to get photos taken on our wedding day, I gave in (after much fuss). So glad I did. Thank you Tim Horton's"
