A man’s marriage proposal at Disneyland Paris went viral after it was disrupted by a Disney employee.
A magical proposal turns into a nightmare
On the Reddit platform, a video captures the shocking moment of a man furious after a proposal ruined by a Disneyland employee.
The video showed Ante, the man behind the proposal, planned the moment carefully.
He got down on one knee in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. The crowd cheered as he offered his fiancée a ring, making the moment feel like a fairytale.
However, just as the proposal was about to unfold, a Disneyland employee intervened. The employee swooped in, snatched the engagement ring from Ante’s hands, and told the couple to move along and redo their proposal elsewhere.
Social media reaction
The shocking incident was captured on video, which quickly went viral on Reddit and other social media platforms. Viewers were outraged, criticizing the employee for ruining the couple’s special moment.
One person said: Hahahahahahahahahaha… entitled tourists are the WORST.
A second wrote: He was in an unauthorised area. Plan better* for all those saying he had it. He didn’t. He lied
While a third commented: Disney offered them a free trip with hotel of their choosing as an apology and he shoots it down because of pride. Guy is an even bigger tweedle-dum dum than I thought
Another added: “I can’t visit Disneyland anymore” get over yourself and don’t expect to enter out of bounds areas
Guy speaks out after proposal ruined by disneyland employee
After the incident, Ante shared his emotional reaction and the aftermath of his proposal being ruined by a Disney employee.
Ante, who spoke to the New York Times under the pseudonym to protect their privacy, explained that he had been planning the proposal since Christmas.
His fiancée had gifted him tickets to Disneyland Paris, sparking the idea for the proposal.
Earlier in their relationship, Ante had gifted her a rose in a glass, reminiscent of the one in Beauty and the Beast. In addition, he had planned to propose during the evening fireworks show. However, because he was too excited to wait, he asked a Disney employee for permission to propose on stage instead.
After the proposal was interrupted, Ante was uncertain if his fiancée had even said “yes.”
They sat on a nearby bench, where Ante placed the ring on her finger, and the couple watched the footage of the ruined moment.
Disneyland Paris issues an apology
Disneyland Paris issued an apology to the couple.
@ladbible This Disneyland employee ruined this man’s marriage proposal and told them to move… 😳 #ladbible #fyp #foryoupage #disneyland #proposal #proposalvideo #proposalgonewrong
A statement from their California headquarters expressed regret over how the situation was handled.
The company offered the couple a free weekend at any Disneyland park and hotel as a gesture of goodwill.
However, Ante and his fiancée declined the offer. Additionally, Ante said, “Disneyland stands for dreams. Our moment was destroyed.” And, he added, “I don’t want to visit Disneyland anymore. They can’t give us the moment back, and that’s the only thing I want – to get a second chance.”
Despite Disney’s apology, the couple’s magical moment remains irreparably spoiled, and they chose not to accept the compensation offered.
