Man sparks backlash after proposing to girlfriend in crowded hot air balloon TikTok: graysworldA man is sparking backlash on TikTok after proposing to his girlfriend in a crowded hot air balloon \u2014 and she begged him to stop his grand gesture. But is it real? Proposals are meant to be heartwarming romantic gestures \u2014 but sometimes they can go askew in the worst ways possible. Take, for instance, one guy who lost his ring in the sand during his grand proposal on a beach, or a couple whose proposal at Disneyland Paris ended up getting ruined by an employee who snatched the ring away. However, the latest proposal going viral online is making users seriously cringe and lash out at the guy for his not-so-unique proposal idea. Man\u2019s hot air balloon proposal goes viral \u2013 but is it real? On November 11, TikTok user Gray Fagan uploaded a video of himself in a hot air balloon with his girlfriend on what, at first, seemed to be a seriously romantic date. The balloon appeared to be pretty crowded, but despite the close quarters, he popped the question to his partner, ring in hand\u2026 but she didn\u2019t seem very enthused by the situation. Instead, his girlfriend urged him to stop making a scene, whispering \u201cPlease stop.\u201d Judging by her body language, it seemed like this was the exact opposite of the proposal she\u2019d envisioned. Users were quick to lash out at Gray in the comments, with one user pointing out: \u201cThe people in the back started minding their business QUICK.\u201d \u201cThis is actually so sad,\u201d another wrote. \u201cDo not do a public proposal unless you\u2019ve talked about marriage and it\u2019s 100% sure she will say yes and is just waiting on you to pop the question,\u201d another advised. However, it\u2019s looking like this entire thing may have been totally staged. Gray posted a follow-up video showing his girlfriend (fianc\u00e9?) happily posing with the ring despite her previous reservations. In the video, she apparently drops the heirloom ring off the side of the balloon and tearfully apologizes to her man. Due to the theatrics of the entire thing, quite a few commenters are speculating that it might be faked. Despite this, both videos have gone pretty viral on TikTok, racking up a total 40 million views as comments continue to pour in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
