Santorini proposal hilariously interrupted by unwitting elderly couple

·

Proposals are all about timing – and while one couple nailed the moment, it wasn’t the pair getting engaged.

Travel content creators Kevin Arrieta and Natali Melani were filming their engagement in picturesque Santorini, Greece, when a perfectly placed camera captured a perfectly imperfect moment.

Just as Arrieta dropped to one knee to propose, an elderly tourist couple wandered into the frame. The man, chocolate bar in hand, paused to point around the scenery while standing directly between the couple and the camera – completely unaware they were interrupting a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Melani gave her answer while the couple remained in the shot, but the pair laughed off the mishap and later uploaded the now-viral footage to Instagram with the caption: “Proposal: 10/10, Timing: 0/10, Memory: Priceless.”

Not everyone online saw the humour, with one commenter writing, “I don’t consider myself a particularly angry person but this sparked some very real rage.”

But many users had a more positive take. “Their future walked into the frame,” one person noted.

Speaking to Good Morning America, Melani and Arrieta said they’re hoping to track down the mystery couple.

“We’d love to invite them to our wedding, and we hopefully think that they also think this is funny like we did,” Melani said.
