- An Illinois man using family game time as the setting for a surprise proposal
- He proposes to his girlfriend while everyone is playing a card guessing game
- She realizes she’s being proposed to only when she flips over the card to read it
Talk about turning a marriage proposal into a family affair!
An Illinois man commandeered a casual afternoon of family game time in his effort to surprise his girlfriend with a marriage proposal.
At least ten people were in the kitchen one afternoon, standing around a table during a card guessing game when the proposal took place.
An Illinois man (right) takes advantage of a family game gathering to propose to his girlfriend. His girlfriend has no idea that she’s been handed a special playing card
In the video, a man off-camera instructs everybody to hold a playing card up to their foreheads.
They each comply, revealing a number or face card — all except for one young blonde woman who has been given a special card which is clearly visible when the videographer zooms in on her.
‘What the f*** does she have?’ one person says. He and others around the table begin to laugh once they realize what her card says.
‘This is so unfair! Alright, time out,’ the blonde says, before removing the card to get a good look at why people are laughing at her.
She gets halfway through reading aloud the words ‘Will you marry me,’ before she mouths ‘Oh my God.’ Stunned, she starts to cry.
Everybody around the table laughs when they realize that the game is actually a proposal. She doesn’t catch on until she stops the game to read the card and then bursts into tears of joy
The girl tearfully accepts her boyfriend’s surprise proposal and they’re cheered on as they hug
Just behind her and out of her view, her boyfriend, who had been standing by her side at the start of the game, gets down on one knee and patiently waits for her to turn around.
The woman is so shocked that the person standing next to her has to physically spin her around before she remembers to look over at boyfriend.
Spotting him on one knee sets off a fresh batch of crying.
When he asks if she will marry him, she manages to say ‘Yes’ through her tears and holds out her hand as he slips an engagement ring on her finger.
The video ends with the newly affianced hugging to much applause and cheering.
