A husband had to do what he had to do in order to ensure his wife wouldn't ruin a friend's surprise proposal taking place.
The woman's loved ones apparently did not let her in on the surprise, given her tendency to be "extra."
So the husband crept up behind her, covered her mouth, and swiftly dragged her away from the group of huddled women – one of whom was the unsuspecting bride-to-be – just before they all turned around to discover the Romeo on bended knee.

"So our cousin didn't know about the proposal...and we knew she'd be extra," read the text written across the video.
The caption continued:
"So her husband had ONE job...don't ruin the romantic moment."
And the husband, seen in the video wearing shorts and a backpack, was more than up to the task and pulled his excited wife to the side before she could cause a scene.
Eventually, she was released from her husband's hold, and her mouth dropped to the floor in response to the momentous, romantic gesture playing out in front of her.
The clip ended with the text, "Definitely a much better reaction than we anticipated."
Indeed.
The hilarious video was shared on TikTok where it racked up 24.6 million views and 4.4 likes in just six days, according to Indy 100.
TikTokers got a kick out of the husband's stealth tactic.

Her enthusiasm may not have been fully contained, but as far as we can tell, this mission was accomplished, and then some.
