A man hacked his girlfriend's favorite Disney movie and it might be the best proposal ever
Just wait until you see the ring toss.
Lee Loechler's incredible "Sleeping Beauty" proposal.
There are creative, romantic proposals, and then there's this one.
Lee Loechler recently proposed to his girlfriend, Sthuthi David, by taking her to a packed theater to see her favorite Disney movie, Sleeping Beauty. Little did she know that Loechler had spent six months altering the animation of the film's most iconic scene, changing the characters to look like the couple themselves and altering the storyline to set up his Big Question. And that's only the beginning.
Watching David's face during the scene change is sheer delight, as her confused look proves that she has no clue what is about to happen.
The set-up is great, but the magical moment when Loechler's illustrated self tosses the engagement ring to his real-life self? That's when we all toss up our hands and say, "OKAY, man. You win at proposing. Everyone else must bow before you now."
The whole proposal—the re-illustrations, the heart jokes (David is a cardiologist), and the bride-to-be's surprise when she finds herself surrounded by friends and family—it's all perfection. Just watch:
Amazing, right? Lee Loechler set the bar ridiculously high, but even the most cynical among us have to give him props for his creativity.
Reddit users' responses to the video were hilarious, and reflect what we all feel watching this masterpiece.
