The proposal video of a couple is going viral on social media, not because of flashy decorations or elaborate tactics, but because a volcano erupted in the background during their landmark moment, making it all the more special. The incident occurred in Guatemala, where the man was proposing to his girlfriend as Volcán Fuego erupted behind them.
As the man got on one knee, his girlfriend got shocked and happy at the same time. As she touched the ring, the volcano erupted in the background.
“I’ve been recieving a handful of DMs about you guys finding my video across the internet so I figured I’d post it myself as a reel!” the woman shared the video of the proposal on her Instagram handle.
“For anyone who doesn’t know, I got proposed to by my long term boyfriend @jleenumbers on Volcán Acatenango in Guatemala. Volcán Fuego is what is erupting in the background. We got very lucky because the eruption you see in the video was the first visible eruption we saw that day,” she added.
“In Guatemalan indigenous culture, volcán Fuego serves as a sacred link to the spiritual world, with eruptions seen as powerful manifestations of the supernatural and an opportunity for rituals and offerings. Taking ‘I lava you’ to a whole new level,” the woman continued.
