Sometimes, you are having a casual, fun moment, and it turns into something completely unexpected. This was experienced by a woman called Lou, who was filming a fun video with her boyfriend at the beach. Little did she know that what awaited her next was a marriage proposal. In a viral TikTok video posted on December 21, 2025, which has crossed over 2.6 million views, the woman (@lou_cifer_) was dancing playfully on a beach. She thought she was simply having a goofy moment, but just a few seconds later, her boyfriend joined in. Matching her energy as they danced together by the shoreline, he suddenly dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring. Lou was taken completely off guard and surprised. 

“Didn’t know I was filming my own engagement,” the overlay text of the video read. As she grooved on the beach, her boyfriend joined in and asked for a kiss. “I’m out of breath from all that dancing,” Lou told him as they kissed each other. “I do have one more Christmas gift,” he revealed.  She was left stunned as her boyfriend got down on one knee with an engagement ring in hand. Then he popped the big question, “Will you marry me?” “Like, are you actually serious?” the woman said, as she stood there completely overwhelmed. After she said, “Yes,” she took a second to admire the ring and went back to her happy dance with her fiancé.

“Let's dance forever,” she wrote in the caption of the video. Later, she posted another clip on TikTok, revealing the ring. The video received outpouring love in the comment section, with many viewers posting screenshots of them having romantic moments. “The scream straight into his face... this is so precious,” commented @j_gards. @ghost.draws.2024 wrote, “The entire start of this video is why he's marrying you.” “One day your kids will watch this video and say, ‘Oh, so they were always like that,'” joked @squishy6452.

Proposals may not go as planned, but in the end, love will find its perfect moment. A similar thing happened with Ohio softball player Nicole Colley when her partner, Jacob Lear, proposed during a game. Lear decided to get engaged at the same place where he asked her to be his girlfriend: Berliner Sports Park in Columbus. He waited for months, quietly planning with teammates, friends, and family. Just before the tournament, Colley’s coach asked her to take care of the toss, and she was completely focused on the game. “I figured, everybody's standing around, let’s play ball,” she shared. “Play ball!” she screamed and directly walked past Lear, who was waiting on one knee. Everybody in the field was excited and then started yelling at her, “Turn around, Nicole, turn around!” When she did, she saw her fiancé holding a handmade softball case with an engagement ring inside. Overwhelmed with emotions, she started crying, “And then the excitement just took over, like, holy crap, this is happening,” Colley shared. They are now planning their 2027 wedding.
