Public marriage proposals might be a great idea if both parties are okay with it because if they are not, then it doesn’t take long for a public proposal to turn into a cringy nightmare. When a person is proposing to their love interest, they often pick the most romantic location possible to get down on their knee and pop out the ring. But looks like this fellow could not find a better place than a crowded McDonald's to propose to his lady love.

One such video went viral on Twitter in 2022 when @Madame_Mmanga shared a couple facing an embarrassing moment at a packed McDonald’s. There was no further context presented about the video but one look at it was enough to determine that the proposal was destined to fail. Gaining over 3 million views, the viral video on Twitter was captioned: “Witnessed such a sad situation today yo." It was a sad situation indeed as every single customer present at the fast food joint stared at the couple and snickered.

In the 45-second clip, a woman can be seen ordering an employee behind the counter who looks visibly uncomfortable with the second-hand embarrassment as well. The man brings out a ring from his pocket and gets down on a knee, drawing the attention of the crowd to himself. The lady love of the unfortunate fellow might have already gotten a drift of what was happening behind her as she turned around to shake her head at him. 

Even though there is no distinct audio clarifying what she could possibly be saying but we can guess that the gentleman got rejected for sure. Her irritated expression and the awkwardness as she waited for the man to stand up, just added to the overall humor in the situation. The embarrassed lady finally decided to walk away furiously after dropping her order on the side. One kid on the counter beside them had the front-row seat to the whole failed proposal fiasco as he giggled at them.

The man looked defeated when he finally got up and pushed out a full shopping cart left behind by the lady who rejected him. Twitterati had a gala time reacting to the miserable moment faced by the hopeful lad who was expecting a joyous 'yes' from his love interest. One person wrote that they can't "believe that the man decided to propose at a McDonald's out of all places." Another one wrote: "...I hope the ring was as expensive as the order." Well, let this serve as a lesson for those who are planning to propose to their partners in the public.
