Being tasked with filming her friend’s proposal didn’t go exactly as planned for one woman.
On Monday, TikTok user Mary Dawson shared a video of the moment she missed filming her friend’s engagement session because she was distracted by a furry animal.
“POV: I shouldn’t have been trusted to film my friend’s proposal,” she wrote over the clip.
In the video, Dawson films her friend and her friend’s boyfriend standing in the yard surrounded by fairy lights. The boyfriend then reaches into his pocket to pull out an engagement ring, but as he does so, Dawson is distracted and moves the camera to capture something behind her in the woods, which turns out to be a raccoon.
