Erin Foster's Fake Wedding Proposal Secret Revealed
29 Oct
Summary
- Erin Foster's proposal mirrored a staged wedding vow renewal.
- Her husband Tikhman orchestrated the elaborate proposal surprise.
- The event inspired a similar scene in her show, Nobody Wants This.

Nobody Wants This creator Erin Foster shared details about her 2019 engagement to Simon Tikhman, which closely inspired a proposal scene in the Netflix series.
Foster recounted that Tikhman planned an elaborate surprise proposal disguised as a wedding vow renewal ceremony in Napa. He provided an invitation with a detailed schedule and attire, even arranging for her to get her nails done. Foster was unaware of the true intentions, believing it was a professional obligation.
Upon arrival at a vineyard, Foster and Tikhman were informed the guests had already departed for a wine tour. Unbeknownst to her, their families were concealed in a nearby barn, awaiting the proposal. This deception was later recreated in the show, where Adam Brody's character proposes to Kristen Bell's character under similar pretenses.
The series, Nobody Wants This, is loosely based on Erin Foster's romance with Tikhman, whom she married on New Year's Eve in 2019. They welcomed their first child in May 2024. Foster views the series as a love letter to her marriage, blending reality and fiction across its seasons.
