“Absolute best proposal video you’ll ever watch”: Woman plans an engagement for her best friend—it’s actually her own
A woman tricked into thinking she was helping to plan an elaborate proposal for her friend was shocked when it was her own man who got down on one knee.
Tiffany, sister of the clueless bride-to-be, revealed the elaborate plot for Richard to propose to Ali in a TikTok video that went viral with 5.9 million views.
Tiffany, Richard, and their friends Samatha and Austin convinced Ali she was planning Austin’s proposal to Samantha, when in fact, the whole crew was planning Richard’s proposal to Ali the whole time. When Ali finally realized what was happening, Richard was already down on one knee with all their friends cheering them on.
The complex scheme resonated with TikTok users who felt the love among the friends and between the newly engaged couple. People following along on social media appreciated how hard the friends worked to make sure Ali and Richard shared a truly special moment that one commenter pointed out is “literally the plot of a rom-com.”
How the proposal prank went down
Tiffany shared a recap of the inner workings of the prank a day after Ali and Richard’s engagement on October 20, 2025. Tiffany introduced herself and explained, “I'm your sister, and I made you think you were planning your best friend's proposal.”
Ali’s best friend, Samantha, was in on it and pretending not to know that Ali was planning her engagement with her partner, Austin. She laughed that Ali was, “so fucking clueless… and the best part is that she thinks I'm so fucking clueless.”
The video included clips of the emotional proposal, showing just how surprised and filled with joy Ali was to accept Richard’s proposal. Richard led a perplexed Ali down the aisle of a venue while their friends watched. As Richard got down on one knee and she finally put the pieces together, her friends shouted, “It’s you, bitch! It’s been you the whole time bitch.”
And there’s one last twist—Samatha and Austin, the couple Ali thought she was planning the proposal for, are actually already married. The newlyweds revealed that they’d eloped a month earlier after Ali said “yes” to Richard, and the best friends showed off their rings together.
In the post’s caption, Tiffany wrote, “The absolute best proposal video you’ll ever watch. I still can’t believe we were able to pull this off for my sister ????.”
