Daniel Pena was just trying to stage a casual, over-the-top, stupidly well thought-out promposal for his friend Alex, as kids do these days. He started recording from his dashboard as his plan unfolded so that he could capture Alex's reaction.

He had customized signs set up alongside the road in his hometown, according to Mashable. Alex started reading them out loud as Daniel drove her by them. The signs read "Alex. Will. You. Marry. LOL Jk. Go To. Prom. With Me," he elaborated in the YouTube description of the video he posted above. The actual promposal starts at 1:58.

Her reaction? "What the fuck?" Followed by: "That's a shitty way to ask someone to prom." Shortly followed up with: "...Was that you?!" Then: "I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry I said that." Finally: *Tears. All the tears.*

Daniel was a good sport about it all. He shut off the camera as Alex really lost it, but eventually turned it back on to tell everyone that she said yes and that all is good now.
