Woman hilariously hand models cousin’s ring in viral proposal photo

A real friend is one who will drop everything to hand model your engagement ring when a surprise proposal catches you without a proper manicure.

That’s the situation one Australian woman found herself in when she witnessed her cousin’s boyfriend propose and had to think fast so they could still get the perfect post-proposal shot.

At first glance, the moment looks like any other engagement photo: a happy couple surrounded by balloons and flowers and, of course, a hand showing off the ring. Normal, right?

But what the original photo doesn’t show is the now bride-to-be’s cousin elaborately contorting herself into position so she can hand model the ring instead.

The image quickly went viral on Twitter, with many applauding the poster, who goes by @goodgaljenjen on Twitter, for her quick thinking.

Others thought that everyone involved should have planned ahead better to avoid the whole situation to begin with.
