A brave gentleman who took the knee at a packed McDonald’s eatery, situated inside a Sandton shopping mall, was left in a lurch by the woman of his dreams and the entire ordeal was caught on camera.
Watch: Botched Sandton mall marriage proposal
In the video clip, the woman, whose identity remains unknown, was preoccupied with the order she was making at a McDonald’s counter, all the while her partner, a man dressed in a black puffer jacket, had taken the knee, ready to initiate the proposal once she’d turned around.
The epically romantic moment had garnered the attention of a large crowd that waited with bated breath for a highly emotional scene of pure love, one which is only ever witnessed in Hollywood-scripted rom-coms.
Envious women had their phones whipped out to capture the marriage proposal, but things went horribly awry as soon as the woman turned around.
Clearly, the lady was far from impressed with her partner’s brave showing. She vehemently shook her head in disapproval, effectively shooting down the man’s advances and, probably embarrassed by the entire ordeal, she walked off, much to the displeasure of the crowd.
The boyfriend, visibly dejected, forced his way up to his feet and slowly walked off, pushing a packed shopping cart towards the direction his girlfriend took.
The botched marriage proposal surfaced social media and has since gone viral. You can watch it below:
