Woman calls out family who photobombed her engagement in a public park, sparking debate
Getting engaged is supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime memory. But one woman says her big moment was interrupted by a family who decided to stop for selfies right in front of her proposal setup.
“If you are the family right there… that’s walking up to my proposal heart as I’m about to get engaged, and you pick up your kid and you take a selfie and take your leisurely time doing so… that is so rude,” she says in the video.
She adds that she and her partner simply stood there waiting for the family to finish, calling it inconsiderate that they didn’t acknowledge what was happening. In her caption, she wrote: “Had to pause the crying to almost cuss them out lol.”
