Imagine having the love of your life ask you to marry them at the “Happiest Place on Earth,” but being interrupted by a well-intentioned worker trying to make it “better.” That’s exactly what happened to one couple who was getting engaged at Disneyland Paris when an overly enthusiastic employee got in the way.
The theme park is now apologizing for their overzealous worker who interrupted what would have been a storybook proposal in front of the castle. A viral video shows a man dressed in all-white as he gets down on one knee to pop the question to his lady love. While she covers her mouth with her hand in disbelief, the crowd nearby cheers as the Disney employee comes over, takes the diamond ring box out of the man’s hand and scurries down the stairs, urging the couple to follow.
The confused man tells the worker, “She said ‘yes!’” but the clueless worker responds, “but over here will be better” as he motions for the woman to come down. The person who posted the clip on Reddit claims to know the couple, writing in the post, “He asked for permission beforehand.” Thousands of comments to the post slam the employee for ruining the man’s perfectly planned proposal and Disney has since said they’re sorry for the way it went down. “We regret how this was handled,” a Disney spokesperson said. “We have apologized to the couple involved and offered to make it right.”
