Perfect surprise setup

Local content creator @yofav_unkle shared a heartwarming video of his surprise proposal at Kream MOA with the caption:

"During all of this? All I heard from the back was "SHE SAID YES!!!!" I didn't hear the yes myself 🤣🤣"

The scene was set perfectly. Rose petals were scattered across the table, and his girlfriend was completely unaware of what was about to unfold, especially since he had texted her earlier claiming he was 'cooking.'
