A firefighter wanted a way to propose to his girlfriend without letting her know what was happening… in uniform. Not only that, but he got her dad in on the surprise as well, all dressed up in gear. So how, exactly, did he pull it off?

He decided to propose to her at work, the very place that they met. Some of his buddies told her that they were there to do an inspection, and asked her to lead them to a room (where her fiancee-to-be and father were staged). When she walked in, he immediately dropped to one knee. Her reaction (2:07)?

“No.”

Thank goodness this was a surprised explanation and not her actual answer.

I think it’s so neat that the boyfriend/fiancee got the dad in on the surprise. It truly brings the whole asking-the-father-for-permission thing to the next level!
