Here’s The Sweet Story Behind That Hilarious ‘Fake Selfie’ Proposal Video

“WHA.. OH OH MY GOD. YEAH. ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?? IS THIS FOR REAL??? OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD. YEEEAH.”

With those words, Kenny Mercier and Lisa Holloway got engaged — and Mercier’s clever way of recording his stunned fiancee’s reaction has become a viral sensation.

A YouTube video Mercier posted last week shows him popping the question by pretending to take a selfie of himself and Holloway at the Detroit International Riverfront. It’s the same spot as their first date two and a half years earlier, during which they also took a selfie.

This photo is from Kenny and Lisa’s first date, taken in the same spot where Kenny popped the question.
