TheHero and the {{Love Interest|s}} have just saved the day, and they've done so in a very large, very public place with a very noticeable audience--say, a theatre performance, or an orchestra recital. Having saved the day, our heroes are receiving a round of applause (although the audience may not know exactly ''why'', seeing as from their perspective all that's happened is that a couple of jokers have just burst in and completely stage-crashed what might have been a very interesting performance; usually it's because someone very prominent, such as the President of the United States or the Pope, is present and has started applauding because [[AllPartOfTheShow he thinks what's happened is part of the performance]] or is a lot more entertaining than the scheduled show).

Then, swept up in the moment, the Hero and the Love Interest decide that, then and there, they'll confirm their recently developed feelings for each other. By kissing in front of everyone. It's a major 'awww' moment, and usually to make it even more romantic, the applause increases in volume and intensity; ah, True Love, now ''this'' is worth applauding!

* Averted in ''Anime/BloodPlus'': The hero defeats the BigBad on stage at an opera house, her BodyguardCrush confesses his love to her, and they kiss... in front of an audience of two. Also, the whole scene was rather dark, instead of straight-up happy like most that follow this trope.

* In DI Goodman's final appearance in ''Series/DeathInParadise'', right after he solved a big two-parter case, he hurries to [[TheOneThatGoAway Martha]]'s crowded restaurant, [[TheKlutz introduces himself by breaking some china off-screen]], finally tells her he loves her, and kisses her while every patron in the establishment starts applauding and cheering. His job on Saint Marie is then taken over by DI Mooney due to Goodman staying in London to build a new life with Martha.

* Music/GarthBrooks proposed to his longtime friend Music/TrishaYearwood live onstage in front of 7,000 people in the middle of a concert. Unlike Johnny Cash, he only had to wait about two seconds for her to say yes. And yes, then they kissed.

* [[YuriGenre Julia and Ran]] share their FirstKiss at the beginning of a ZLAY concert in ''Manga/StrawberryShakeSweet''. Of course, the whole thing was [[InvokedTrope set up]] by the oh-so-GenreSavvy ZLAY band members in the first place.

* Music/JohnnyCash proposed to June Carter onstage during a concert in Canada. She did not know in advance that he was going to do it. After singing the duet "Jackson", Cash suddenly asked Carter "Will you marry me?" Carter tried to talk Cash into proceeding to the next song, but Cash refused to continue the concert until she answered him. Finally she said "yes" and they kissed. Legend has it that the crowd went wild.
