This is the embarrassing moment a boyfriend’s romantic proposal in front of a cheering crowd in Rome goes badly wrong when his girlfriend declines.
The proposal starts well as they finish dancing in the fashionable Via dei Condotti under the Christmas lights.
The young man then casually bends down on one knee with a ring as a tenor’s performance of O Sole Mio reverberates around the square.
But his partner’s body language is immediately awkward as she makes repeated gestures pleading for him to stop in front of the onlookers as the romantic music continues.
‘I didn’t expect it. I wasn’t ready. But is this why we came to Rome?’ she says several times, according to Italian publication La Stampa.
The man is then reported to have asked in front of onlookers: ‘But is it yes or no?’
After some hesitation she replies that it is a ‘no’, before he stands to his feet nursing a broken heart.

In October, a mother accidentally ruined her son’s engagement video in Italy when she fumbled filming his picturesque proposal.
TikTok user Jennifer posted a video of her mother-in-law as she attempted to record her son popping the question.
The beaming couple are seen standing in front of a fountain in Saint Peter’s Square.
As the TikToker’s boyfriend goes to drop to his left knee, the mother flips the camera to her face.
With the vibrant blue sky in the background and fluffy white clouds, the mother starts to laugh a little.

The camera gets shaky right before she points it back at her face. It’s at this moment that her body language and face start to change as she realises what she’s done.
Her eyes grow bigger and then she takes a huge gulp before the video ends.
It was evident that the mother didn’t mean to flip the camera and ruin her son and future daughter-in-law’s special moment.
