NEW YORK CITY (WFLA) — A true New York City love story. Dare we say…made cheesy?

During a couple’s proposal last week near Radio City Music Hall, a special guest made an appearance, upstaging them in the most NYC way possible.

The video posted to TikTok shows a rat scurrying out from the Christmas tree, next to the soon-to-be-engaged pair, before running back toward them.

The woman is seen starting to hurry away as the rat returns.

As the camera pans back to the couple, the man finally takes a knee to pop the question.

TikTok users chimed in on the video, saying that there is nothing more New York than this.

“The rat like ‘should [I] stay and say cheese or leave?'” one user said.
