He spent months crafting the perfect proposal but it was his girlfriend who flipped the script on him

People often go over and beyond to surprise their partners and make them feel special. When it comes to proposals, they take it even further, carefully crafting the perfect moment to pop the question. Everything is pre-planned to create memories, from choosing a meaningful location to arranging a delightful surprise or finding the perfect words to express love. Similarly, when Chandler decided to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Bri Wiggity Wack (@bribri_is_wheezy), he thought he had it all figured out. But little did the man know, he would be the one surprised! The wholesome TikTok video went viral on the internet. 

When Chandler mentioned a surprise trip, Wack suspected that a proposal was on the way. So, she decided to add her delightful twist to the proposal. Without Chandler knowing, Wack ordered a custom T-shirt featuring some of her best photos with the words, "This is my fiancée" splashed across the top. "I ordered this T-shirt in advance because I am like there is no way my boyfriend is taking me on a surprise trip without something happening. I am going to carry it around with me," Wack said. 

The moment finally came, and Chandler popped the question to his lady love at the stunning Lake Louise in Canada. Just after Wack said "yes," she got down on one knee and pulled out the T-shirt. "I always knew I would say yes, so I prepared something for this moment," she told Chandler. His reaction? "Oh my God! This is amazing," Chandler exclaimed, pulling the custom-made T-shirt from the bag and bursting into laughter. It was a picture-perfect moment, straight out of a modern romcom.

The TikTok video received an overwhelming response with people swooning over the dreamy proposal. @jordan wrote, "I love you included him with the surprises. What a special moment!" @elisejost983 commented, "Stop! This is the sweetest funniest thing I have ever seen." @teenagemutantninjahurdle commented, "I love that she couldn’t help but share that she had some kind of joke planned for him." @whatsaname wrote, "I love how you couldn’t get out any words before laughing." Meanwhile, @banditsixtyfive commented, "Wow! Congratulations to you and your very blessed fellow and what a gorgeous bride you will be!"

Talking exclusively with PEOPLE, Wack revealed why she was so sure about the proposal. She said, "There was only one reason I could imagine he would be planning it. My fiancé had told all of our friends and family about the 'surprise' and tried to convince me while recruiting friends and family for support in trying to trick me that we were going to his home state in the Midwest. He was a bit too giggly every time he would talk about the trip and how it was a 'surprise' on what we were doing when we were there, so I didn’t believe him at all."

While Wack had guessed the proposal, she never imagined that, after returning from the trip, she’d walk straight into her engagement party. Chandler, with the help of Wack's sister and best friend, had secretly planned the party and even invited their out-of-town relatives. "The proposal wasn’t a total surprise, but the engagement party definitely was. I cried a lot that night—just overwhelmed with happiness and surrounded by so much love," Wack revealed to the outlet.
