There are myriad memorable ways to make a romantic and memorable proposal, but this is emphatically not one of them.

A TikTok of a proposal gone very, very wrong has gone viral for the boat-related mishap that ensued. Here's a pro-tip: If you're going to make a sweeping romantic gesture while stepping onto a boat, DO NOT rest your hand on the boat's accelerator when you lean in for a kiss!

A TikTok video of the hilariously disastrous proposal has left millions in hysterics.

The video comes from TikTok user @amandamarriiee, whose mother's friends were the soon-to-be-married subjects in question. It all started off with the kind of sweepingly romantic gesture a fairy tale proposal is made of.

Amidst a gorgeous backdrop of a wooded lake, the groom-to-be waited on his boat for his wife-to-be's approaching boat. Standing on the edge of his boat, he pulled a ring box from his pocket, and exchanged words with his intended―presumably the proposal itself. He then stepped from his boat to hers to give her a kiss. Aww!

But when he leaned in for the kiss, he rested his hand on the woman's boat's accelerator. And you can probably guess how that went: Her boat suddenly lurched forward, causing her to fall backward and him to lose his balance and fall toward the water.

That all would've been bad enough, but to add literal injury to the situation, as the wife-to-be fell backward she kicked her betrothed clean in the face as he tumbled into the lake.

All in all, your basic disaster. Thankfully, in a follow-up post, the TikTok'er reported that the ring was salvaged and neither people were injured. Phew!

On TikTok, people were left in stitches by the video.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
