Not every marriage proposal goes off without a hitch. And, when it comes to social media, there is a certain amount of pressure that makes it even harder to pull off the perfect proposal for your intended. In this case, a golf course proposal on TikTok almost got ruined when the potential bride-to-be almost threw the ring away. This one falls into the category of a hard to pull off proposal for the ages.
In the video, a couple is on a golf course, and the boyfriend put the ring into a small container in the cup in the ground. When his girlfriend reaches into the hole, she thinks the container is garbage and she almost throws it away. That would have totally ruined the proposal. It wouldn’t be the first proposal gone wrong on social media, though, and plenty of other users have lots to say.

The golf course proposal almost went totally wrong.
After the woman tosses the little container with the ring in it, her boyfriend goes after it and gets down on one knee. After she asks if he is “being for real” a few times, she smiles and accepts the proposal. She then tries to take off a different ring on her left ring finger and declares, “Well, I can’t get it off.”
Her boyfriend still slips on the engagement ring. After joking with her that the engagement ring “is not as big as [her] fake one,” the couple hugs and kisses. But the lack of excitement as well as the confusion of the cup with the ring, really made some TikTok users share their thoughts in the comments section.
One user commented, and referred to a TikTok creator who makes videos based on failed proposals and other life events: “The heavy breathing, the yeeting of the ring, the swearing, the person recording laughing and talking over the moment. This screams Madison Humphrey. But congrats to the couple nonetheless.”
“I would think he was joking too,” chimed in another commenter. “No romance no speech when he was on one knee, holding the ring like it’s a [piece] of trash. Like sir get up.”
Some users think the proposal should have been scrapped.
Because of the way the proposal progresses at the beginning of the video, some people thought the boyfriend should have scrapped the idea completely. Because his girlfriend didn’t know he was going to propose, he could have come up with a new plan that might have worked a little better in a different setting.
One user thought that it was a “terrible time and place for an engagement.” Another person commented that the boyfriend should have “scrapped the idea” after the girlfriend tossed what she thought was a piece of trash.
Another user commented, “That should’ve been a no for many reasons.”
But, to be fair, the couple seems happy to get engaged, even if the proposal almost got ruined by nearly chucking the engagement ring into the garbage before the the boyfriend could even pop the question.
