A man faked his own death in a motorcycle accident shortly before asking his distressed girlfriend to marry him. The video footage of this incident was taken on Sunday, September 30.
Footage shows that the man, Jeffrey Delrio, lied on the road in South Cotabato in the Philippines while a traffic officer–who was also part of the elaborate proposal–tells his girlfriend Shiela Parayanon to prepare for the worst, the Daily Mail reported.
While Delrio was lying on the ground, his girlfriend Parayanon rushed to the scene and broke down in tears.
But shortly after playing dead, Delrio suddenly gets on his bended knee and pulls a red box with an engagement ring in it from his pocket.
He then asked his distressed girlfriend to marry him. And guess what? She said ‘yes’.
Moments before getting engaged, Parayanon was captured on camera rushing to the scene. She can be heard screaming and crying as traffic officers try to console her. As officers tried to revive Delrio, who was lying face-down, he sits up before surprising his girlfriend with the jewelry box and a smile.
Clearly stunned, the distraught girlfriend then turns to another traffic warden and hugs her with relief.
The gathered crowd cheer on as Parayanon, playfully slapping her boyfriend on the arm, accepts his proposal.
The stunt was captured on camera by their friend Mark Apura described the proposal as romantic but admitted the proposal was “unusual.”
Mark said the couple were ‘both full of love’ following the fake accident.Cu
“People keep thinking of strange ways to make marriage proposals. Jeffrey looked like he was very badly injured but then came alive when his girlfriend was there,” Apura said.
“I am happy to help spread the love,” he added.
However, not everyone was impressed, with one woman said, “It’s such a strange thing to do. If I was the woman I would have dumped him right there.”
