Proposing to someone requires meticulous planning and finding the perfect moment, but this man found arguably the worst time to pop the question: a funeral.?
A South African pastor has been slammed online for proposing to his girlfriend?at her father¡¯s funeral.
In a video shared on TikTok by M.Mojela, he can be seen?getting down on one knee as he asked his sobbing partner to marry him during the ceremony in Limpopo province,?South Africa.
"Proposing [to] the deceased¡¯s daughter right at the funeral. Wiping the tears there and there,¡±?reads the caption to the clip.?
The woman¡¯s father¡¯s coffin can be seen in the background of the clip.
A member of the congregation appears to cry out in shock at one point, after realising what is going on.?But the pastor didn't care one bit as his daring attempt paid off, as the video shows him slipping a ring on the woman¡¯s finger.??
Many users were left divided over the stunt.?¡°This here is WRONG..No matter how you can try and justify it," one user said.?"I feel like he should have waited for the funeral to pass...how do you rejoice when you are in such deep pain,' another user wrote.?¡°Guys he wanted to do it in front of the late parent.. Nothing wrong.. If u a deeply spiritual u will understand this," a third user said.?¡°Maybe [his] wish was to propose while the father or mother was still alive,¡± another user added.?
While the pastor was successful in his attempt, the same couldn't be said of this man. Earlier this month,?a man who proposed to a woman in a crowded Mcdonald's outlet was left embarrassed?after getting rejected.?This?man proposed?to a woman while she was standing in a long queue at McDonald's Sandton branch in Johannesburg, South Africa.
In the said clip, the man is seen going down on one knee while holding out a ring box as the woman orders at the till. She looks at the McDonald's employee before turning around and then starts shaking her head in disbelief.?
People around them cheered and shouted to encourage the woman to say yes, but the woman definitely had no plans of accepting this proposal.?The couple then has a heated discussion after which the woman exits the outlet. The man embarrassed by this entire situation takes his food and marches off.? ? ?
