Ben Gilbert had planned a beautiful proposal for his girlfriend Ali Myers.
But just as she was about to agree to be his wife, it was another girl who fell head over heels.
As he stretched out his leg to get down on one knee, he tripped up a little girl with her arms full of pumpkins.
Luckily she wasn’t hurt and after the brief distraction, Ali said yes and agreed to marry him.
Ben’s best friend Tanner Johnson, filmed the proposal for the couple.
He said: ‘Fortunately, the little girl was OK, she was just embarrassed.
‘The mum actually got onto her for ‘ruining the moment’ once she realised what was happening.
‘It was a last-minute plan, as Ben got the ring back in August but has held on to it until now. He wanted to wait until she wasn’t expecting it.’
Ben and Ali got together in January after meeting on Twitter.
He decided to ask her the question on Monday when they were pumpkin shopping.
At the same moment Ben got down on one knee, the girl walked past and didn’t see his leg, causing her to topple over and spill the pumpkins.
Ben and Ali stood in disbelief before checking on her and Ben apolgised through a fit of giggles.
Turning back to Ali, she said yes and spectators cheered and shouted ‘That’s awesome’.
Congratulations Ben and Ali. Hopefully you make it down the aisle without any mishaps.
