A young man proposed to his girlfriend during his brother’s convocation ceremony.
He knelt down with a ring, intending to celebrate love on a joyful occasion.
The girlfriend, dressed in her graduation gown, turned her back and refused to respond.
A romantic gesture quickly took a painful turn after a young man was left kneeling in public while his girlfriend refused to accept his proposal.
According to a lady who filmed the moment during her brother’s convocation ceremony, the man had gone down on one knee with a ring in hand, hoping to celebrate love on what was meant to be a joyful occasion. However, the woman dressed in her graduation gown stood with her back turned, refusing to respond or even look at him.
The crowd watched in shock as the tense moment unfolded. After several seconds of silence and disappointment, the heartbroken man eventually got up and walked away.
The eyewitness captioned the video shared on X (formerly Twitter): “I went for my brother’s convocation, and this was what I saw.”
The clip has stirred widespread reactions online. Many people expressed sympathy for the man, while others insisted that public proposals should only happen when both partners have talked about marriage and are emotionally prepared.
The incident has once again sparked conversations about love, ego, and the vulnerability of proposing in front of an audience with many agreeing that public heartbreak feels even more intense.
