Woman's 'dream proposal' overshadowed by act caught on camera

Many people have an idea of their dream proposal, whether they want it to be a huge event with hundreds of people watching, or a small affair between them and their partner. No matter how your proposal happens, you want it to go off without a hitch, as it will be one of the most important days of your life.

In this day and age, it's become commonplace to film events like proposals to look back on in the future, but one couple had their touching engagement video ruined after a bizarre act was caught on camera that overshadowed the whole thing.

The couple were on holiday in the Greek island of Santorini when the man discreetly set up his phone to record himself as he got down on one knee in front of his girlfriend to ask her to marry him.

Sharing the video on TikTok, the touching clip begins with the man holding out the ring to the woman, who is visibly emotional as she can't believe her "dream proposal" is coming true.

But just when the man is about to put the ring on his fiancée's finger, one thing overshadows the special moment - as a fellow tourist walks directly in front of the camera, blocking the proposal from view.

The unknowing woman walks in front of the camera and points out to the ocean in the background, shortly before she is joined by her husband, who stands munching on what appears to be a cereal bar.

Writing on the video hilariously states: "Proposal 10/10, timing 0/10, memory: priceless."

And in the caption, the couple added: "Our dream Santorini proposal accidentally turned into a Snickers ad. You couldn't script something this unexpectedly hilarious."

Commenters on the post were furious on the couple's behalf, with many saying they were "praying" the video was fake because they couldn't believe the tourists would be so oblivious.

One person said: "Honestly, I'm praying this is a joke because I'm so frustrated right now."

Another added: "Even if the phone wasn't there, standing that close to a couple that is obviously having a moment (especially one as big as a proposal) is a bit out of touch. And being unaware of your surroundings is just ridiculous."

Not everyone was furious with the tourists, however. Some came to their defence, claiming they were simply "minding their own business" and probably didn't mean to ruin the happy couple's video.

Someone argued: "Everyone in the comments is angry about people who are in a public place, minding their business. The older couple is just enjoying their holiday."

As someone else wrote: "I bet those poor people felt so bad once they figured it out."
