I got engaged in Bali – but all anyone is talking about is our photographer’s reaction in the background of our footage

A young couple went into hysterics after rewatching their proposal video for the first time – a heartwarming clip that has since taken the internet by storm.

Slobodan Aleksic got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend Sandra Svärd Mikic on December 5 in Ubud, Bali.

A local Balinese photographer captured the heartfelt moment and couldn’t help but gasp and react joyfully in real time as the special moment played out in front of him.

As he filmed, the man can be heard wailing, ‘oohing’ and excitedly congratulating the couple.

Sandra, an account manager from Stockholm, told FEMAIL that after watching the video she couldn’t stop laughing and found the reaction ‘cute’.

“I didn’t hear or notice anything when he asked her to marry him, but when we saw the video, his happy noises made it extremely funny and brought immense joy,” she said.

“Winning his excitement when he heard we were engaged made the whole proposal even more special, and I felt the need to share this joy with friends, family and even on TikTok.”

During the proposal, Sandra was overwhelmed with emotions and ‘maybe there were tears in her eyes’ because she had not expected it.

And the location was lush with a flowery backdrop and jungle setting.

“Somewhere deep inside I had a feeling it might happen that night, but the proposal on top of a mountain in the jungle by an infinity pool far exceeded my expectations,” she said.

‘I got a bit stressed and even forgot which hand the ring should be on, a typical Sandra movement.’

“Somewhere deep inside I had a feeling it might happen that night, but the proposal on top of a mountain in the jungle by an infinity pool far exceeded my expectations,” she said.

Sandra wrote about the images: ‘My boyfriend proposed to me in Bali and our photographer was even more choked up than I was.’

The couple has been together for two and a half years after Slobodan messaged Sandra on Instagram.

‘Our first date turned into a 24-hour adventure in Stockholm. After just two to three dates, I planned a surprise visit to Spain during his vacation,” she recalls.

‘Nervously, I flew down after just four dates, and we met in Palma, Spain. After spending a few days together, we officially declared ourselves a couple.’

Sandra said the best thing about the proposal is the amount of effort and planning required.

“It’s a testament to the love we have for each other, and it fills me with happiness. But the absolute best part (of being engaged) is taking the next step in life and being ready for all the other travel adventures we will take together,” she added.

“I played this on speakers at my wedding,” a third admitted.

Someone else said: ‘I love Balinese people, they are so romantic and kind.’

Another woman added: ‘I have the exact same proposal video in Bali with my waitress making the cutest sound effects.’

‘He sounds like Julian from Madagascar. So cute,” someone else wrote.
