"Ek hoop jy sê ja": Local man proposes over store's PA system
There was no 'saving' on love for this couple when he sealed his love with a ring...
As much as everyone loves a good public proposal, they can sometimes be a bit scary.
For one, there's a big chance that your beloved may say "No". Believe it or not, that doesn't just leave the person asking the question sad and disappointed, but also all the onlookers who become invested in the love story.
In a video shared on TikTok that has over 340,000 views, we see a woman shopping at a Pick n Pay store.
Another person starts videoing her and she looks confused.
Her partner can then be heard on the store's PA system. She recognises his voice but is unaware of what he is about to do.
Of course, he shares his intentions on the mic and even tells her which aisle he is in. He was just a man with a plan...
It seems Pick n Pay has been a buzz zone for proposals recently. We saw another couple share their public proposal at a PnP store last month and they attracted much media attention.
We have to say, the look of disbelief and confusion on Zella's face was both endearing and sweet.
Watch the video of their cute proposal below, courtesy of TikTok. Please note there are a few naughty words used...

It's the PnP. It's the ululating. It's the effort to get the store to agree. So adorable!
