A video posted to social media captured the moment a perfect marriage proposal suddenly went awry in snow-covered Lake Tahoe, when an overzealous bride-to-be punched her fiancé multiple times after he dropped to one knee.
The adorable clip has already amassed more than 10 million views on TikTok, where it was posted earlier this month by the woman who goes by the username mamscarterrr.
The clip, which lasts just under a minute, begins with the woman setting up a camera to take a picture with her boyfriend – seemingly unaware that he is planning to propose to him.
The quick-thinking woman’s vantage point – who said in posts she met her fiancé through a dating app – offered a view not only of the proposal that would result, but of the scenic, snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountains in the background.
Having made the necessary preparations, the woman rushes to her husband, who dutifully stands at the center of the majestic backdrop.
