Mom goes viral as she panics over spoiling son’s proposal

A mom has gone viral as the internet saw the panic in her eyes after she thought she’d spoiled her son’s proposal in Italy. 

Relationship drama has always been one of the internet’s favorite sub-genres and that has, naturally, been the case on TikTok as well. Users have constantly been sharing their own stories about exposing cheaters and debating the state of relationships – see the infamous Couch Guy dramas.

Naturally, they also love weddings – be it brides showing off what their plans are for the big day and everything leading up to it. Though, sometimes newlyweds feel the wrath of the internet for making a mistake. 

Many proposal videos go viral before the big day as well, usually because they’re a big, extravagant celebration of a couple’s relationship or because it’s a thoughtful, well-laid-out day. However, that wasn’t the case for one mom as she was left in a panic.

Mom fails to record son’s proposal but the internet forgives her

TikToker Jennifer Araujo (_jennyy4) uploaded the clip of her soon-to-be mother-in-law’s panic as she was supposed to record Jennifer and her son’s proposal.

The couple were stood in Saint Peter’s Square by the Vatican, joining hands in their signature way. However, as her son dropped down to one knee and went to propose, the mom flipped the camera around so it was shooting a selfie video of her. 

Despite her initial joy, the mom was clearly panicked as she realized the camera had been flipped around by mistake. “She was trying her best,” Jennifer said, clearly forgiving her. 

The clip has racked up over 4 million views in under a day, with plenty of viewers sympathizing with the mother. 

“Please please please tell me there was someone else taking another video omg,” said one. “Everyone saying they’re mad, I feel sad for her,” added another. “aww nahh she looked like she was gonna cry.. tell her it’s okay,” commented another. 

Jennifer uploaded an update shortly after, noting that her fiancee’s dad had filmed a separate angle so their special moment wasn’t totally ruined.
