A woman has left social media stunned after she surprised her boyfriend with an impromptu wedding proposal, complete with a wedding dress and all the trimmings.

Content creator @skye.berry shared the viral video on the 6 of July with the caption:

"Let's surprise this man, I can't be moving with his pace", showing her entire journey from shopping to the big reveal.

The determined woman explained that after four months of dating, she felt her boyfriend wasn't taking things seriously enough and was moving too slowly for her liking. Fed up with waiting, she decided to take control of the situation by buying everything needed for a wedding and surprising him at his home.

In the video, she documents her shopping trip where she found everything she needed at a local shop. She tried on several wedding dresses before settling on the perfect one that made her feel like a proper young bride. Along with the dress, she bought a veil, bouquet, and tiara to complete her bridal look.

The woman was clearly serious about her intentions, stating that this wasn't a prank but a genuine attempt to move their relationship forward. She wanted her boyfriend to see her and immediately think "yes, she's the one" without overthinking the decision.

When she put on the complete bridal outfit and walked down the street towards her boyfriend's house, the entire neighbourhood came out to watch. People cheered and supported her as she made her way to his front door, creating quite the spectacle that drew him outside to see what all the noise was about.

Her boyfriend was visibly surprised when he saw her in the wedding dress. He brought her inside and asked her to change into tracksuit pants and a top, but she refused, insisting she was ready to get married. After being overwhelmed by the situation, he asked her to wait while he figured things out.
