A woman was doubly surprised when her boyfriend proposed to her during a safari and was subsequently wiped out by a giraffe.
Monserrat Cox preserved the moment in a TikTok clip showing her nodding "yes" after her beau got down on bended knee.
A giraffe walking by in the background indicated this was no ordinary setting.
Moments later, after he put the ring on her finger, another giraffe walked right up to where the romantic display was taking place and headbutted Cox.
She lost her balance from the impact, but her man held onto her while kneeling and prevented her from falling after what looked like a pretty intense sideswipe.
Cox laughed off the interruption and proceeded to kiss her hero–who proved he would always be there to catch her when she falls.
Cox posted another clip of the epic proposal–this time freeze-framing the encounter with the curious giraffe–and set it to the song, Remember (Walking In The Sand), where the "oh no," part of the tune is often used to highlight situations where things go wrong.
The clip has so far received over 2.8m views and 372K likes.
TikTokers shared various interpretations of what might have been going through the giraffe's mind.

Cox said she "had to wear a neck brace for the next few days," but stated it was "still the best proposal ever."
It was definitely one for the books.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
