Their passionate embrace was juxtaposed against a fierce-looking team of riot police. Which, of course, makes the couple the Internet's latest sweethearts.

Scott Jones and Alexandra Thomas were caught in the middle of the post-Stanley Cup riots Wednesday night in Vancouver. And when Thomas was “knocked down by a shield” by riot police, her boyfriend Jones stooped down to help and comfort her with a kiss. It was an innocent act, propelled into the spotlight thanks to a well-timed camera.

Their smooch, captured by Getty Images photographer Rich Lam, has quickly gone viral as a quite paradoxical photo. At first, many wondered about the kissers' identity and if their kiss was possibly staged. (The Internet is notoriously skeptical, particularly about love.) But once the smoochers were identified by name, the Internet fell in love.

Their embrace amid the chaos in the streets made for a touching photo. The 29-year-old Jones, originally from Perth, Australia, is seen on top of Thomas, kissing her, as shield-laden riot police keep protesting Canucks fans at bay. “When I first saw it, I thought, ‘No way, that's not ... I can't believe that's us,' ” Thomas told the Toronto Star.
