Man proposes to boyfriend on Splash Mountain in adorable viral photo

Updated

A proposal photo on Disney's Splash Mountain has gone viral on Reddit.

User Eugenius310 shared the story, along with the iconic photo:

"My mom told me not to post it on Facebook because she's ashamed of me," he said, "so I'm posting it here for the world to see."

The world -- on Reddit, at least -- seemed to appreciate the photo more than the user's mother: it received over 41,000 upvotes.

Eugenius310 gave more of the backstory in the comments. He proposed at Disneyland with a sign his nieces and nephews helped make.

He explained, "He had no idea I was proposing and I told him that we should make 'shocked' faces for the camera. Little did he know I was going to be behind him proposing with a sign!"

"I quickly hid the sign away after the drop and when we exited the ride we walked to see our photo and he was shocked. I got down on one knee and asked him to spend the rest of his life with me. He said, 'yes.'"

How did they get a log by themselves? They entered the park early on a Monday morning, so there wasn't a lot of people there. Eugenius310 also told a Disney employee the proposal plan and she allowed them to ride by themselves.

The sweet photo was well-received online, with many congratulation comments like this one: "I'm going to cry ... I'm so happy for you."
