The woman in that viral proposal pic has said it was all the bride's idea

As yesterday went on, it seemed more and more likely that the people in the photo would become aware of their infamy and, lo and behold, one of them has spoken out.

Speaking exclusively to the New York Daily News, the Ohio woman who was proposed to - named only as Megan - gives her side of the story, saying she had no idea what was going to happen and it was all the bride's (her sister) idea.

“My fiancé told her he didn't want to ruin their day and she insisted it would only make it better!” said Megan.

“The groom of the wedding actually held my engagement ring the entire trip! Everyone in the Reddit picture knew the proposal was going to happen except for me!”

Megan then describes how close she and her now-fiancé are to her sister and the groom. The two couples began dating when they were all teenagers and Megan and her fiancé were maid of honour and best man at the wedding.

Many of the commenters on social media remarked on the bride's smile, wondering if it was perhaps a little bit forced.

Megan says her sister was holding back tears - of happiness.

“She's actually trying not to cry because it was such a happy moment for all of us.”

Megan also gave the New York Daily News two photos showing what happened after the proposal.

So that's that then. Satisfied?
