Just Mom Things: Instead Of Recording Daughter's Marriage Proposal, Mom Accidentally Takes Selfie

You know how parents are with technology... not the best. It is really difficult to get them to learn things as simple as taking a selfie or recording a video. It is okay to be a slow learner but this mom cost her daughter a memory we're pretty sure she'd have loved to keep.

A mother was asked to record the marriage proposal of her daughter but the naive mom goofed up and took a selfie instead.

Benjamin Steele Bacon asked his future mother-in-law Susan Griego to record the moment he proposed to her daughter Amber. Benjamin's plan was to pop the question at the penguin exhibit at the Albuquerque Biopark. But Susan, instead of recording her daughter¡¯s reaction to the proposal, ended up taking her selfie.

Bacon asked his girlfriend of three years to marry him and sought her mother¡¯s blessings. ¡°I knew when I proposed I wanted Susan to be a part of it,¡± he reportedly said.

As part of a plan, Susan borrowed her daughter¡¯s phone pretending that she was going to take her picture when she, in fact, was going to record the proposal. But she like most of our parents struggled to find out the right options to record the video and ended up facing the front camera.

¡°I couldn¡¯t figure out how to work it and I¡¯m taking a selfie of myself and I realise I¡¯m filming myself instead of them and I¡¯m laughing and we¡¯re all laughing and I guess I¡¯m not very good at photography,¡± local news channel KOB4 quoted her as saying.

So there was no memory of the proposal, however, the goof-up made it memorable.
