USA - The moment was supposed to be unforgettably beautiful, but during the engagement the bride simply took the sunglasses off her future husband's face and threw them away without hesitation - the reason for this caused a laugh!

Joshua Towell planned an emotional proposal for his girlfriend Angelina Camacho.

AsPeople reported, Towell made sure everything was perfect and the couple's closest friends and family members were present during the important moment.

Just as he was about to get down on one knee and ask the all-important question, a nearby string quartet began playing songs from her favorite movie - all carefully planned, of course.

"As soon as she recognized the songs, she immediately started crying," Towell recalled. Camacho added, "I really thought the string quartet would just be there and we'd just stay there because it was fancy."

When the bride-to-be looked up shortly afterwards to look her partner in the eye, she only recognized herself - because he was still wearing sunglasses! Without further ado, she ripped the glasses off his face and threw them behind her.

"I looked up and saw only the most distorted reflection of myself in his sunglasses (...) I thought to myself: 'I don't have to feel ugly now. I'm being proposed to.' So I grabbed them and threw them away," Camacho finally explained.

The spontaneous action added a humorous touch to the emotional scene, as the newly engaged couple had not planned the moment themselves.

The future couple had met about a year ago at a Christmas event at their university. They added that the funny moment reflected their relationship. "We always have fun together and laugh a lot," Camacho said.

The pair posted the video capturing the moment with the sunglasses on TikTok , where it has now been viewed over 4.1 million times.

"This viral moment has increased our anticipation for what awaits us in the future," revealed the bride-to-be.

The couple's wedding is planned for spring 2025.
