Your support makes all the difference.When Levi Bliss proposed to his girlfriend of two years, Allison Barron, he chose a spot amongst the Nevada mountains so the photos would be perfect.
And they were - except for the intrusion of Barron’s father, Jake Barron, in the background, holding up a sign that advised his daughter to “Say NO.”
Thankfully, her father didn’t actually mean it - according to Allison, who claims her father was simply joking.
She told BuzzFeed that her new fiancé and her father are actually “very close,” and “have gone on many trips altogether and they have hung out just the two of them before too, playing tennis, riding dirt bikes, and other activities.”
And according to Allison, her father’s photobomb injected some humour into the emotional moment, prompting Allison to stop crying from happiness and to start “cracking up” instead.
Allison shared her humorous engagement photos on social media and people love them.
In additions to sending the couple their congratulations, many people have responded that their dads would likely do something similar.
The good news is Allison didn’t end up following her father’s advice.
And not only did she get engaged, but she gets to keep reliving it - as the couple's engagement photos have gone viral, receiving over 220,000 likes.
“You always see little things like this blow up on Twitter and now it’s me. It’s also been one of the best days ever, so I really get to just keep reliving it,” Allison told BuzzFeed.
