Many people dream about how the love of their life is going to pop the question. Some may even fantasise about having a proposal thatâs so spectacular, it goes viral because everyone canât stop gushing about it.
Well, one couple seemed set for a memorable engagement at none other than Disneyland Paris â but it turned out to be unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.
Just as the man got down on one knee, a park employee dashed up and took the ring away before ushering the couple off the stage, completely disrupting the proposal.
The clip of the incident has since gone viral, with many slamming the employee for his actions.
A Disneyland representative later issued a statement saying that they have apologised to the couple.
The video, which was first posted on Reddit, shows a couple on stage with Disneylandâs famous castle in the background.
In the clip, the man gets down on one knee and asks the lady to marry him as the crowd cheers them on. She covers her mouth in shock and then appears to nod her head as if indicating âyesâ.

However, their joyous moment is quickly cut short.
A park employee donning Minnie Mouse ears runs up to the couple, snatches the ring right out of the manâs hand, and gestures for them to get off the stage.
Awkward.

The cheers quickly turn to boos as the confused couple makes their way down the stage.
âShe said âyesâ,â says the man, pointing to someone off-camera. According to the OPâs caption, the man had permission to pop the question on stage beforehand, so he could have been addressing the staff who had given him the green light.
Despite the manâs apparent joy, the overzealous employee stands his ground.
âYes, thatâs great but over here will be even better,â he says, insisting that the couple stands by a metal gate at the bottom of the stairs.
Redditors were completely taken aback by the employeeâs actions.
Many lambasted him for apparently sounding and looking âso proud of himselfâ for ruining such an important moment.

Some also pointed out it was completely wrong of him to grab the ring like that even if he was trying to enforce a rule.

One netizen believes that itâs highly unlikely that the worker would get to keep his job at Disneyland after an incident like this. Many are also calling for him to be dismissed.

Then there was this optimistic user, who said that this was a good way for the man to demonstrate his great character to his fiancée by not getting angry. That would certainly be one silver lining.

Newsweek later shared a statement from a Disney spokesperson, who said that the company â[regrets] how this was handledâ.
We have apologized to the couple involved and offered to make it right.
However, Disney did not reveal if any action has been taken against the employee.
Itâs dreadful that such a magical moment in âThe Happiest Place on Earthâ ended with so much negativity.
While the worker is getting the brunt of the backlash, one canât help but wonder if he had been acting on a superiorâs orders. Still, as netizens have mentioned, he shouldnât have seized an expensive engagement ring just like that.
We hope the couple managed to enjoy a better proposal elsewhere without any disruptions, and we wish them a very happy marriage.
