Disney said it has apologized to a couple whose now-viral marriage proposal was interrupted by an overzealous employee.

The viral video first posted on Reddit last week showed a man getting on one knee to propose to his girlfriend on a platform in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, Paris .

Mid-proposal, an employee rushes up and snatches the ring box out of the man’s hands and ushers the couple off the platform, the video shows .

"She said yes," the man says as he walks off the platform.

"Yes, that's great, but over here will be even better," the employee responds.

Onlookers immediately began to boo the employee.

The Redditor who posted the video said his friend had previously asked another employee if proposing on the platform was OK, and that she said yes.

This is a great opportunity for Disney to make extra money. Develop scenic yet secluded areas of the park that require advanced reservations. These areas are ideal for “candid” photo opportunities and prevent park visitors and disgruntled employees from interrupting the proposal.

It’s kind of unreasonable to expect visitors and employees to avoid certain areas for someone to propose without interference. There are enough ‘Disney Adults’ in the world for this to be a viable venture. Maybe throw in a convenient bottle of champagne to celebrate. Disney is a full-service nuptial destination. Proposal, wedding, reception, honeymoon. Packages start at 40k.

I have been thoroughly informed that this exact idea exists and my comical price tag is actually on the low end.

Miscommunication between employees caused this. Seems like one gave them the OK to do it, and the other didn't know. Still, what a dumbass move to literally snatch the ringbox from their hands. He looked so smug doing it too.
