Dave & Busters wedding proposal goes viral
Uploaded on April 10, 2022, the video shows Ryan and his now-fiance walking into their favorite Dave & Busters restaurant full of arcade games. Those arcade games give the players tickets as a prize, which they can either immediately redeem for an item or save up for something bigger.
In the video, it says that the couple has been collecting tickets at Dave & Busters since they began dating. Ryan worked with the management of the establishment to help him propose to his partner.
The couple walked up to the prize redemption area where they found a stuffed animal with a wedding ring in a cubby with the label: “Wedding Ring – 7 years worth of Tickets.”
At the time of writing, the TikTok video has received over five million views.

Say you’ll host our wedding reception or we’re leaving you for @ChuckECheese 🥺
