A cruise ship dinner proposal was ruined when wait staff accidentally announced the engagement before it even happened.

Gary Bratton had been planning to propose after buying a ring from the ship’s jewelry store, and was planning out how to propose to his girlfriend during the dinner.

He arranged for the ring to be delivered to the table discreetly, and then he was going to pop the question.

Before he even got the ring, a group of waiters came out and one of them announced, "Okay, we're going to sing Happy Engagement."

The group broke out into Happy Birthday, with the words changed to "Happy Engagement."

Gary's girlfriend, Amanda, told the crew "I'm not engaged!"

The group put the ring - still in the bag - down on the table, and had a piece of cake with a lit candle in it to celebrate.

"Instead of being special and romantic, it was chaotic and all wrong," Amanda Bratton told Fox. "I was so confused and couldn’t help but just laugh."

He pulled the ring out of the bag and asked her to marry him, and of course, she said yes.
