did my proposal at the restaurant flop because my family stole the show?

I spent weeks planning the perfect proposal for my girlfriend at her favorite restaurant. I wanted it to be just us, something intimate after six years together. I even reserved a cozy corner table and had the staff in on the surprise. But my sister, who can’t keep a secret to save her life, let it slip to my mom. Suddenly, the whole family showed up at the restaurant. My mom started telling stories, my sister kept making jokes, and my girlfriend got swept up in their energy. I felt like a background character at my own proposal. I tried to get everyone’s attention for the big moment, but they were too busy laughing and chatting. My girlfriend barely noticed the ring in my hand. I ended up proposing in the parking lot, just the two of us, after everyone left. It was sweet in its own way, but definitely not what I imagined. Has anyone else had their special moment totally hijacked? #proposalstory #familydrama #relationshipwoes #restaurantdate #RomanticRelationships
