Ángel Acosta Adame had the moment rehearsed: one knee on the ground, a question on his lips, and a woman waiting on the other side.
But as he knelt, his pants ripped right at that moment, leaving an impossible-to-hide opening. The camera captured everything, and he posted it with the song “Ripped Pants”, by SpongeBob. His comment was straightforward: “Only me—these things happen to me”.
Jacqueline Briones laughed, didn’t want the mishap to steal the spotlight, and agreed to marry him. He put the ring on her with his pants ripped, and they sealed the moment with a kiss and a hug. “I didn’t mind because it was the best moment of our lives”, she wrote. And she added: “There will never be a shortage of laughter in our marriage. I love you to infinity”. The video surpassed 8,3 million views, 870 thousand likes, and more than 11.000 comments, with people laughing and congratulating the couple.
