OK, guys; this is a great example of ‘what not to do’ when trying to come up with a unique way to propose to your girlfriend.

An Egyptian man has created online hysteria when he arranged a fake kidnapping to propose to his girlfriend. In the video, his partner is in the passenger seat when he jumps out of the car to get something. As he leaves the car, three men in balaclavas pull the woman out of the vehicle, blindfold her and are seen grabbing her throat.

After a few seconds (which probably felt like hours for the poor woman), the blindfold is removed and she sees her friends and family wearing matching shirts. Her boyfriend then asks the big question.

Most shocking? She still said yes!
