True love doesn’t care about money. When you really love someone, it doesn’t matter where they take you to eat, what salary they earn, or what kind of education they have. Love is above all tangible things, assets, and extra zeros in the bank account.
However, not everyone is on the same page. Recently, one man in South Africa proposed to his girlfriend at a KFC chain restaurant. For most, it was a heartwarming moment worth capturing on video (we’re glad they did), while some saw an opportunity to drag the man down for being ‘broke.’ Well, the joke’s on this person who tried to roast the man in love, because the internet has come together to make sure the couple has the loveliest and fanciest wedding.

The heartwarming moment was captured by a passer-by who spotted the man kneeling down on one knee at the KFC restaurant in Vaal, South Africa. In the video, the girlfriend can be seen tearing up and saying yes. The two seemed incredibly happy and were grinning from ear to ear to onlookers who were taking photos and videos.

“SA [South African] men are so broke they even propose at KFC. They have absolutely no class, I mean who proposes at KFC,” the woman wrote. Anele’s tweet was met with people’s anger, who couldn’t simply believe that someone would drag a man down like for simply proposing to his girlfriend. As of now, the tweet has been taken down and the person behind it made their account private.
KFC South Africa reposted the video asking the public to help them find the couple
“Please help us find this beautiful couple, [we want to be blessers]. DM us any leads, there might be a Finger Lickin’ Good surprise in it for you too. [Vaal people, help us]! We love love,” KFC South Africa wrote in their tweet.
The couple was found and numerous international brands offered to chip in for the couple’s wedding

Such global brands as PUMA, Huawei, McDonald’s, Uber, and Audi have offered their help. PUMA gifted an R10,000 (approximately $680) voucher, Huawei—two of their phones, but the Standard Bank topped them all by offering the couple to clear their loans up to R300,000 (over $20,000!).

“A bucket full of love for Mzansi’s* favorite couple in true SA style, umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu,** thank you to each and every one of you South’A. Our bucket overflows with love,” they wrote on their Twitter page.
*Mzansi—an informal name for South Africa
**Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu—a saying that means, “a person is a person through/because of (other) people” or—”you are who you are because of how you relate to others around you.”
And were glad that love looks and tastes better than the soup that KFC serves

I wouldn't care if my boyfriend proposed to me in a Walmart. The location doesn't matter, the love behind the proposal does. Some people pick the most petty things to be upset about.
Agreed. Look at the man, and look at the woman. Such love and joy. The surroundings don't matter.
To be honest, she looks a little embarrassed. But, love is love.
I work at walmart...I've actually witnessed a proposal at the service desk
The journalist's not really upset about the location of his proposal, she's upset about the lack of proposals coming her way.

Hi, do you mind shutting the fuck up?
Take you, your porn, and your goofy ass looking face out of the reply section. Masturbate yo silly outta here. Beat it bitch!
Why is someone else commenting on a couple's private moment to begin with? Who cares where he proposes? It only matters why. He loves this woman and wants to spend his life with her. Enough said.
Jealousy - makes you nasty...
Totally don't understand the hateful comment. The couple looked so happy. Maybe KFC was their first date. Maybe it's their go to fastfood place. Maybe they met there. Frankly it doesn't matter. To take someone else's happy & special moment and try to turn it ugly because you don't approve of the restaurant choice says a whole lot more about the person making the comment.
Totally agree. And maybe the journalist is right and he can't afford better ā and so what? She tried to take a moment of obvious joy and turn it into shame. FFS, what's wrong with people?
Me thinks the journalist is jealous that no one has thought to propose to her anywhere. My husband asked me every year for 8 years and I can't even remember half the places he asked lol. I've never understood trying to lift yourself up by putting others down.
