Some people imagine getting proposed to in a five star restaurant. Maybe the ring is in a glass of expensive bubbles or maybe it’s merely a decoration on your dessert — but this couple got engaged in the middle of a KFC.

To each their own — there is no judgement here.

One man decided to propose to his girlfriend in a KFC in South Africa — and it has gone viral.

In a video posted on Twitter, the man is seen on a bended knee asking a woman for her hand in marriage. The couple is surrounded by KFC customers reacting to the surprise proposal.

KFC South Africa reposted the video asking the public to help them identify the couple. They wrote, “Please help us find this beautiful couple. DM us any leads, there might be a Finger Lickin’ Good surprise in it for you too … We love love.”

Twitter users were happy to help — within hours, the couple was identified by KFC as Hector and Nonhlanhla.

Kateka Malobola, who posted the original video, said on Friday that the responses to the couple’s viral proposal have been incredible. He said, “It’s not even about the video, it’s about love. The man … I’m not as brave as he is. He went down on one knee in front of everybody at KFC. Everybody came running from outside that heard the screams from the cashiers and the patrons … it’s genuine love.”

While some social media commentary poked fun at the man’s decision to choose KFC as the venue to pop the question, most reactions were positive.

One Twitter user wrote, “Oh my brought tears to my eyes, they look so in love!!”

“Never judge anyone’s standard of living. This must be a dream come true, beginning of happy life,” one person tweeted.

“That’s why we don’t find happiness, we focus on material things,” another person wrote.

The fanfare surrounding their unorthodox proposal was so popular that businesses and generous South Africans offered to help pay for the couple’s wedding, honeymoon and gifts.

Dang!
