It's a good thing this couple is already married. A TikToker shared a video of all of the times her husband has fake proposed to her during their Disney vacay.
In the video you can see she's mortified and embarrassed but that doesn't stop him. He randomly drops to one knee at various places throughout the park.
Users are reacting to the fake proposals saying "Omg this makes me so anxious. After the second time I just would have flown home by myself". Another user wrote "Tell me you have social anxiety without telling you have social anxiety".
