Before proposing during a Major League Baseball game in the US, one man failed to take an important factor into account. In what became one of the most memorable proposal mishaps, the romantic gesture led to the man receiving a slap from his girlfriend.
The woman’s reaction was prompted when her partner presented her with a gummy ring instead of an actual engagement ring.
At a Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox baseball game, the man embraced his partner on the steps of the Rogers Centre. Following a kiss and some exchanged words, he knelt down on one knee, with a cameraman poised behind them to capture the special moment.
However, things took a turn when he pulled out a black ring box from his pocket and unveiled a gummy ring.
Upon seeing the gummy ring, the young woman reacted swiftly, delivering a slap to her partner’s face, much to the astonishment of the spectators.
The incident quickly gained traction on social media platforms.
While some users feel the man’s action warranted the slap, others argue that the girlfriend’s response was an overreaction to a harmless gesture.
“A lot can be said about her reaction; it was intended as a joke. Perhaps this incident will serve as a wake-up call for him,” one user commented.
“And that, my friends, is how you ensure you remain single and devoid of humor,” remarked another user.
