There's no doubt that getting down on one knee and asking someone for their hand in marriage is one of the most anxiety-inducing experiences a person will ever go through.
When you pluck up the courage to finally pop the question to your special someone, you want the setting to be just right, and for everything to go according to plan.
However, this week a video has gone viral on social media, showing us all how not to propose to someone.
Take a look at the hilarious proposal fail in the video below:The footage in question was first shared by Twitter user Theo Shantonas, and it shows a man and a woman riding a boat each out on the water. The man can be seen showing the woman an engagement ring, and asking her the million-dollar question. So far, so good.
But when she went in for an emotional embrace, everything went wrong at once. As the video shows, the boat rocked slightly when the bride-to-be accidentally nudged her boat's throttle in her excitement, knocking her over and sending her fiancé into the drink.
On Twitter, it seems as though a great number of people experienced second-hand cringe over the toe-curling footage, and took to the comments to make their reactions plain.
For instance, one viewer wrote:
"Honestly, if you can survive a karate kick to the head, nearly drowning, and a boat crash all in a few seconds chances are you'll survive a long, exciting, fruitful marriage. Congrats to the both of you."
Per Fox News, it's not known whether or not Theo himself actually recorded the footage, or just acquired it, but he later posted a follow-up tweet asking his followers to be nicer to the couple, and adding that the woman still said yes.
So there you have it folks: no matter how scary it is to ask "will you marry me", just remember that, even if things go wrong, there's a good chance they'll still say "of course I will."
