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."

The beloved members of Mystery Inc. are made up of Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo. Lillard played Norville "Shaggy" Rogers, who is known for his comic relief and loyalty to Scooby, in the live-action movies Scooby-Doo (2002) and its sequel, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004). He later voiced the character in several animated films, series, and video games.
