When it comes to proposals, Oregon just gave the internet one of the most unexpected moments yet. Forget candlelit dinners, skydiving rings, or choreographed flash mobs. This one happened right in the aisles of a Dollar Tree, during an employee’s shift.
An Oregon resident, who also happens to be an employee at her local Dollar Tree, decided they weren’t going to wait for the perfect time or place to pop the question. Instead, she took matters into their own hands while at work. Their girlfriend had come in to shop, completely unaware of what was about to go down, when the manager made an announcement over the store’s intercom asking her to come to the front. Imagine being a customer only to watch a full-blown proposal unfold.
Once their girlfriend reached the front, the Oregon worker didn’t waste any time. They delivered a heartfelt line, telling her partner, “I love you so much, and I would love to make you mine for the rest of my life.” Then, in classic rom-com fashion, she dropped to one knee. Instead of a diamond or even a modest gold band, she pulled out a Ring Pop. The iconic childhood candy that probably set you back about a dollar, fittingly enough.

Proposals don’t have to follow tradition to be meaningful. While TikTok users had a field day roasting the couple, with many calling it cheap or tacky, others pointed out that it was sweet in its own quirky way. After all, the girlfriend looked emotional as she accepted the candy ring, proving that sometimes it really is the thought that counts.
“Of course, the internet couldn’t resist chiming in. Some joked about how it was the most “on-brand” Dollar Tree proposal ever, while others argued that the creativity deserved more respect. “I’ve truly seen everything now,” one person stated. “My nightmare proposal,” another stated. “The whole wedding can be decorated for $50.25,” a third person joked.
Dollar Tree Wedding?
Honestly, in today’s economy, a Ring Pop engagement might be more relatable than a $10,000 rock. Plus, it’s memorable. Nobody’s going to forget the day their love story became aisle-of-Dreams material.
At the end of the day, the Oregon couple looked happy, and that’s what matters most. Whether you’re in support or the video makes you cringe, their unconventional proposal is proof that love doesn’t always need grand gestures or big budgets. Sometimes, all you need is a store intercom, a sense of humor, and a candy ring to seal the deal.
