After taking a trip to the beach following a friend's death, TikTok @zbruhyuhyuh witnessed a man proposing to his partner and was overcome with emotion—and then TikTok found the bride-to-be's video about her engagement.

There's an old saying that there's no such thing as a bad life, only bad days.

TikToker @zbruhyuhyuh was grieving her best friend who had recently passed away and visiting a beach that she loved when she encountered something beautiful: the beginning of a couple's life together.


The TikToker reflected:

"I was having a terrible morning [and] fell to my knees in the sand. Mourning my friend who was unalived. She LOVED love and the beach, and I think she sent me to witness real LOVE to know the world is full of it."

The TikToker panned back and forth between her with tears rolling down her cheeks, to the couple.

It seemed the woman had been filming, and when she turned back to her boyfriend, he was down on one knee beneath a pier, proposing to her. The woman paced around for a few moments, in shock, before approaching her boyfriend.

You can watch the video here:

Fellow TikTokers thought the video was beautiful and applauded @zbruhyuhyuh for seeing the good while grieving.

Then the TikTok algorithm worked its magic and brought the future bride's video from that day to everyone's attention.

She had been vlogging about her day, which included a photoshoot with her boyfriend on the beach. From their angle, the place where they completed the photoshoot was incredibly picturesque with the pier overhead, the wide, tree-like beams, and the beautiful beach and ocean behind them.

In reality, she had been posing for photos for her boyfriend, and when she turned around to confirm one of her poses, her boyfriend was waiting on one knee with a ring instead of holding his camera, which was staged to film their proposal instead.

Is this real life!?!? FIANCÉ & BEYONCÉ IN THE SAME DAY #vlog #engagement

Fellow TikTokers pointed out that they had landed on the video after seeing the video of the "grieving woman" and the "crying woman" first. Some even went so far as to encourage the couple to invite the woman to their wedding.

This whole interaction is a great example that, even when we're going something so terrible as losing someone that we love, there is still good happening in the world, and good will come for us again.

Hopefully, this woman felt led to be on the beach that day, not just to witness love and the beach, but to potentially start a new, lasting friendship.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.
