A man's romantic clifftop proposal went horrifically wrong after his fiancée fell 650ft off the cliff just moments after saying yes.
As reported by German tabloid newspaper Bild, the unfortunate couple had trekked to the top of the mountain in Carinthia, Austria, where the man, 27, proposed to his 32-year-old girlfriend.
However, moments after saying 'yes', the heartwarming celebration turned to panic as the woman slipped in the snow and fell 650ft over the cliff-edge.
In an effort to save his new fiancée, the man leaped out in an effort to grab her, but he also lost his footage and was sent tumbling over the edge with her.
Fortunately, the pair survived, with the woman landing on a mound of snow that had covered a frozen lake. Additionally, the man was left hanging on for his life, after plunging 50ft.
The alarm was raised after a passer-by spotted the woman.
A rescue helicopter was then scrambled and sent to the cliff edge to find the man, who was still hanging on for dear life.
A police officer who was present at the incident told reporters:
"The two were extremely lucky! He flew 15 meters through the air. The woman fell 200 meters over rocky terrain.
"Had it not been for snow, it would have turned out very differently."
Sadly the couple didn't get away totally unscathed. After being transported to a nearby hospital, the man was diagnosed with a vertebrate fracture.
It may not sound like the most romantic proposal, but how many people out there can say that their partner would literally fall off a cliff for them.
I, for one, cannot wait to hear the Best Man speech.
But that wasn't the only disastrous proposal of 2020 (it is 2020 after all).
Earlier this year, a couple went viral after their boat proposal ended up looking like a Three Stooges sketch.
Take a look at the hilarious proposal fail in the video below:After popping the million-dollar question, the couple went to embrace when, all of a sudden, the bride-to-be accidentally nudged the boat's throttle in her excitement, knocking her over and sending her fiancé into the drink with a swift kick to the face.
