While it is a societal norm for a man to pop the question in a heterosexual relationship, the roles are reversed for one couple when a woman decides to propose to her boyfriend.

TikTokker Cindy Ndovela shared a video of the couple's life-changing moment on her account (@indobs). In the clip, a waitress at groove holds a plate with a ring box. The crockery also has text written in chocolate, with the words 'Will You Marry Me?' and 'Yes' and 'No' for his answer to the sweet question.

The waitress walks towards a table seating four people and places the plate before a man. Taken aback, the gentleman realises what is on the plate. A woman sitting across the table gets up from her seat and approaches him, getting down on her knees. Shortly after, the man hands the woman the ring box, where she shyly takes out the jewellery to place on his finger.

The couple embraces each other while receiving cheers from the patrons before the woman returns to her seat.
