So this actually happened last weekend and I'm still shaking.

My best friend Emily (29F) has been dating her boyfriend Chris (31M) for about 4 years. I (28F) love her to death and I’ve always supported their relationship even though Chris is eccentric. He loves surprises and stuff. Think flash mobs and scavenger hunts that no one asked for.

Anyway I was visiting Emily. We were walking around catching up when this unmarked white van comes up next to us. Two masked men jump out and grab her. She begins screaming. I freak out.

So I did what any sane frightened human being would do, I grabbed my pepper spray (legal where I am) and yelled bloody murder and went wild. Sprayed one dude in the face kicked another in the shin and literally pulled Emily back by the coat while yelling for 911.

Turned out it was Chris and two of his buddies. They were attempting this strange "prank kidnapping into surprise proposal" situation cause Emily wanted a "proposal like in the movies."

Chris was yelling crying over the pepper spray. Emily was scared while the cops arrived. It was chaotic.

Now Chris is angry. He tells me I ruined the most significant moment of their lives and embarrassed him in front of everyone. Emily tells me she understands why I freaked out but wishes I'd read the room.

But like how was I going to know?? It seemed real. She was crying they had masks and IT WAS A LITERAL VAN!

Everyone's acting like I overreacted but I genuinely thought she was being trafficked.

AITA for spoiling the proposal?
