Meanwhile, others choose smaller, meaningful moments to pop the question.

While the gesture met some pushback, in the end, it all turned out alright for the couple.

For all the warmth of the gesture, this wasn’t Soldaat and Mkansi’s first rodeoor proposal.

We had the ceremony, but I knew this wasnt what my wife and I wanted, Mkansi toldCNN.

The restaurant staff was key in making the moment happen.

Luckily, the moment was caught onvideoand shared aroundeventually reaching KFC South Africa.

Unfortunately, the negative comment gained traction.

Led by KFC, which hired an event planner for the couple, gifts started to pour in.

The backlash led to companies offering to fund the couple’s dream wedding and support their new life together.

Hector and Nonhlanhla we are so happy for you!

Thank you for celebrating love.
