In the age of Instagram-worthy engagements, skywriting proposals, and flash mob declarations of love, one couple has unintentionally captured the internet’s attention with a proposal so flat, so underwhelming, and so awkward, it has people wondering if the bride-to-be even realized she was getting engaged.
The video, which has gone viral across social media platforms, features a young man proposing to his girlfriend, Victoria Faith Bronx, in front of what appears to be a quiet family gathering.
At first, you might not even realize what’s happening—it’s that subtle.
The boyfriend tries multiple times to get Victoria’s attention, gently tugging on her arm as she carries on a conversation with a woman believed to be her mother.
After what feels like a full minute of being ignored, she finally turns around to see him kneeling down on one knee.
Then comes the big moment—if you can call it that.
In a tone that would make a DMV worker sound like a Broadway performer, the boyfriend states, “Victoria Faith Bronx, will you marry me?”
