Disney said it has apologized to a couple whose now-viral marriage proposal was interrupted by an overzealous employee.
The viral video first posted on Reddit last week showed a man getting on one knee to propose to his girlfriend on a platform in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, Paris.
Mid-proposal, an employee rushes up and snatches the ring box out of the man’s hands and ushers the couple off the platform, the video shows.

"She said yes," the man says as he walks off the platform.
"Yes, that's great, but over here will be even better," the employee responds.
Onlookers immediately began to boo the employee.
