While at the races at Fairyhouse in Ireland, one man chose a very special moment to get down on one knee. But there were a few plot twists.

All of a sudden one of the men goes down on one knee and pulls the ring from his pocket.

What happens next will either have you crying tears of laughter or tears of sadness.
