Worst proposal ever?: Russian man fakes death before popping the question

Who says chivalry is dead?

Last time a proposal caught our eye, it was a lip dub out of Portland that literally melted our hearts with cuteness.

Today, though, our attention is drawn to a proposal on the opposite end of the spectrum. A man in Russia faked his own gruesome death, complete with a fake accident scene, before getting down on one knee.

“He said he wanted to make her see what her life would feel without him,” the user who uploaded the video said.

The clip, which was posted on Live Leak today, shows the man covered in fake blood and bandages before he gets into an ambulance. His girlfriend rushes away in tears, under the impression that her boyfriend just died, and he then follows her with balloons and flowers (like that’s going to make up for it?).

At first, she furiously pushes him away. But she can’t resist her undead boyfriend for long, and her demeanor changes when he gets down on one knee and pulls out  a ring.

Spoiler Alert: She says yes. Seriously.
