Drama as lady pulls out ‘diamond tester’ during friend’s engagement


A proposal turned dramatic after a young lady allegedly decided to test the authenticity of her friend’s engagement ring during the special moment.

The incident, which has gone viral on social media, was shared by user @MrAnuoluwapo on X (formerly Twitter), sparking mixed reactions online.

According to Mr Anu, during the romantic moment, right after the friend agreed to marry her partner, the diamond-testing friend swung into action to verify the authenticity.

Recounting the bizarre scenario, @MrAnuoluwapo wrote:
“Someone proposed to his girlfriend, and one of her silly friends brought out a diamond tester from her bag to check the ring. Bruhhh, I don’t know if it’s lack of emotional intelligence or just plain stupidity! That’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen in recent time.”

According to the post, the diamond passed the test. However, @MrAnuoluwapo expressed concern over the gesture, saying, “Yeah, at least from the tester. But then, what if it wasn’t? That’s my issue.”

The post has since generated a wave of reactions from many who condemned the friend for ruining the moment in an attempt to embarrass the man.

A social media user @bibzyCarter noted, “Are you for real? Isn’t the ring supposed to signify a bond rather than the material itself. Are people okay?”

Another user @Freshxiick added, “Bro I would be so embarrassed mehn, and tbh I wouldn’t even know how to react. But one thing is certain, that her friend don de my black book forever.”
