Watch: 3-Year-Old Pees As Mom's Boyfriend Proposes
Kevin Przytula had the perfect proposal planned. But his now-fiancee's son had other plans.
BAY CITY, MI — Kevin Przytula had the perfect proposal planned. The Bay City man had bought a ring and knew he was going to propose to his girlfriend Alyssa Anter. All he had to do was drop a knee and give it to her, and what better time to do it than now, as their one-year anniversary approached.
Saturday was the big day.
"I was out Mother's Day shopping and I was like, you know what? She's pretty good to us. I think today's the day," Przytula tells Patch.

Przytula, 33, decided he'd do so at the Bay City's Ring of Friendship sculpture in Wenonah Park. A few years ago, he volunteered to paint the ring — known locally as the "Toilet Seat" of Bay City — so it seemed like a perfect excuse to go there and take pictures with Przytula's daughter and Anter's 3-year-old son. His 11-year-old daughter would be shooting photos — and recording video.
As the two stand in front of the sculpture, Przytula reaches into his pocket as Anter's son, Owen, says to no one in particular: "I'm going to pee outside."

But neither Anter, 27, nor Przytula hears the boy. Przytula pulls out a small box and drops to a knee as the boy plays next to him.
"I love you with all my heart," he says in the video, to her amazement.
As Przytula professes his everlasting love for Anter, Owen drops his pants — and underwear.
As the romantic moment unfolds, Owen pulls up his sweater and relieves himself just a foot away from the newly engaged couple.
When Przytula's daughter bursts into laughter, he turns around and sees what happened.
"Oh my God. He's peeing," Przytula says. "Are you serious?"
Przytula tells Patch he watched the video Sunday and realized the boy warned them beforehand.
"He told us, but we were just kind of in our own zone," he says.
Przytula said it makes sense to him now why his daughter was laughing during such an important moment.
Anter told MLive.com this wasn't Owen's first time relieving himself in public. He has been in potty training for the past month.
The original video, which has been taken down from Facebook, Przytula had been watched more than 56,000 times.
