These Heroic Teens Faked A Marriage Proposal So They Could Get A Free Dessert

Marriage is a sacred institution. You know what else is sacred? Dessert—which is why these teens put a ring on it, or kind of.

Meet 19-year-old Cati Domitrovich and her best friend, 17-year-old Alex Nagle.

Texans Alex and Cati were having a rough week, so they decided to get away.

While planning their trip, Cati asked, “Can we pretend to be people we aren’t?”

At first, they planned to act like newly weds, Cati, who plays in a band called Burning Trail, told theBERRY. But Alex had another idea.

They decided to go all out and propose in the restaurant.

Cati told theBERRY, “I figured we’d at least get a good laugh and free dessert, so why not?”

After the duo ate dinner, “Alex told our waitress while I was in the bathroom that he was proposing to his girlfriend (me) and that he wanted it on video,” Cati recalled. “I come back from the bathroom and Alex tells me we’re taking a picture, so I pose, he gets down on one knee, and bam!”

SHE SAID YES… to the free dessert, of course.

People in the restaurant started clapping, thinking they were witnessing true love.

Cati, who goes by @bathemeinnudes, shared the pictures on Twitter:

People loved the brilliant plan.

“I totally didn’t expect it to go viral,” Cati told theBERRY. “It’s so crazy, life is so cool.”
