According to Indy100, the footage was shared on TikTok by a user named Aleena Marnee on June 30, and shows a man getting down on one knee to ask his girlfriend for her hand in marriage.

However, Marnee's cousin was also in attendance, and was well known for being "extra".

So to prevent her from spoiling the romantic moment by overreacting, her husband came up behind her, clapped his hand over her mouth, and dragged her away from the scene to keep her quiet.

Marnee captioned her video of the incident:

"So our cousin didn’t know about the proposal…. and we knew she’d be extra. So her husband had ONE job…. don’t ruin the romantic moment. Definitely, a much better reaction than we anticipated."

Her video clearly tickled the funny bones of a number of other TikTok users, and the hilarious clip has since amassed more than 25 million views, 4.5 million likes, and a further 31,000 comments as of the time of writing.
