While walking on the beach, Lonidadi and her friend noticed two girls trying to set up a marriage proposal for their brother.
"I asked what time the girl was coming because I wanted to stick around and watch because we didn't have any plans. But they lost track of time, because they said 7:30, and when I looked at my phone, I said, 'Well, do y'all know it's 7:29?' they're like 'What? No way!' so we offered to help and it was the cutest thing because they let us," she explained.
After finishing the setup, which was roses, candles and a long white rug with the question "Will you marry me?" at the end.
However, they ran into trouble when the "Will you marry me?" letters went missing. They realized the tide took the letters out into the water so they went searching for them.
She explained to TikTok viewers that she considered the person proposing her brother now and she was not going to let him down. Luckily, they found the missing letters and put them back together again, but this time on a sand hill.
Lonidadi captured the special moment for the couple as she said "yes" and how happy everyone was due to their accomplishments. The freshly engaged couple let the strangers stay and celebrate the special moment with them.
Members of the TikTok community commented on the heartwarming video.
The person they helped seemingly commented their appreciation, "OMG HI!!! it was so nice to meet y'all we couldn't have done it without you! thankyou so much!!!"
