4. “Let me tail you just how adorable this is...”
5. A promposal photobombed by a diver sliding down a cloud — how epic is that?
6. The universal facial expression for, “I’ve messed up badly.”
7. Once you notice it, you can’t unsee it.
8. I bet even Leonardo DiCaprio hasn’t experienced this kind of incepswan.
9. Hopefully, Aladdin’s rug caught her in time.
