2 women film tense commentary on stranger about to propose, scold him for his pocket habit

Watching a proposal unfold on screen is one thing, but witnessing it live, at a restaurant with a golden sunset as the backdrop, turns strangers into silent participants, and in this case, enthusiastic narrators. In a video shared by two women, Hollie (@hollieandlife) and Amelia (@diary_ofalonelylesbian), they noticed a sharply dressed couple seated nearby at a cliffside restaurant. From the moment the couple was seated, the two women were dialed in. "We are at a restaurant where you can watch the sunset whilst you eat your dinner, and there’s a couple that have dressed very nicely... and come with a bag," Hollie said.

They shared that the man has booked the premium table on the edge of the hill. "We think he might propose," Hollie whispered. The women leaned in closer to watch, whispering updates between bites of their dinner. "He’s so jittery," Hollie said. "He has not got a ring, has he?" Amelia added. "How amazing would that be?" Hollie said excitedly, eyes fixed on the couple. "I am gonna be so cross with him if he doesn't propose," Amelia joked. They later saw the man standing up and reaching into his bag, and thought it was a ring, which added to their excitement. "He was just getting a vape," they deadpanned. "I’m terribly cross. He stood up. He got the bag. Hands her a vape," Amelia said. The pattern repeated when he reached into his pocket again, but it wasn't a ring. But then, the mood lifted again when the man ordered champagne.

"He’s literally just ordered a bucket of champagne. This reeks of a proposal," Hollie whispered. "If he goes in his pocket for his vape one more time, I’m confiscating it," Amelia added, teasingly invested. "I can't even concentrate on the food that I'm supposed to eat and because all I can think of is the fact that he's about to propose," Hollie said. Then, out of nowhere, a romantic song started playing in the background. "Come on, man, now is the time. Now," they declared. What followed was a burst of anticipation as they watched him get down on one knee. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God," they repeated, barely containing their emotion. Even as strangers, their joy felt personal, a testament to how happiness can ripple outward. In fact, a longitudinal study found that happiness spreads through social networks, with individuals more likely to feel happy if they are connected to others who are. At the very end, Hollie and Amelia are seen sitting with the to-be-married couple, toasting to their happy future ahead. 

The video captured not only the proposal itself but also the spectators’ reactions — emotional, endearing, and deeply relatable. @13.anjos wrote, "I feel like I could conquer the world if these two ladies hyped me up the way they did for this proposal." @gracie.in.the.kitchen noted, "I thought the hilarious commentary would stop me from crying over strangers on the internet, but… nope." @claracunningham1 pointed out the power of timing and editing, "The shots with him at the end — brilliant. He definitely needed that!" According to @according2taz, the story arc delivered, "I was so invested by your commentary, I cried when he finally did it!" @rubess94 chimed in, "This is the people-watching I live for. How special—he had free front-row videography."
