Man stages fatal motorcycle accident to propose to girlfriend

There are many unusual ways of filing a marriage proposal - we have listed some very romantic (and not so) examples ourselves. But young Jeffrey Delrio, a resident of the southern province of Cotabato (Philippines), has gone too far in offering the gold rings to his girlfriend. In a video posted on YouTube that is viralizing on social networks, Delrio fakes his own death in a motorcycle accident (a very common means of transportation in the region) to suggest marriage.

In the clip, we can see the crazy man lying in the middle of the street, next to a motorcycle, as if he had actually fallen from the vehicle. Even local authorities (who we'll never know if they were Delrio's friends or not) helped with the staging by placing a police car positioned to divert traffic. Then the crazy girlfriend - already in tears - arrives on the scene on the back of a policewoman. Her desperation is visible, and to make it more real, firefighters try to keep her away from the "body."

At this point, a third officer moves Delrio, and the young man shows signs of life. Suddenly, he pulls the box with the rings from his pocket and kneels to offer them. The girl, still in shock, accepts the marriage - and still crying, can only slap her boyfriend's arm and hug him. Check out the video below, which was recorded by Mark Apura, a friend of the couple who agreed to record this rather unusual moment.

Has it become fashionable?

Although Delrio was radical in his marriage proposal, he was not the first person to fake his own death in order to win the heart of his soul mate. In 2012, a Russian decided to do something similar - he hired an entire film crew (including a film director, a screenwriter and a stuntman) to create a "fake" car accident.

It was all arranged: his girlfriend would be in the right place at the right time to witness the fatal crash between a car identical to his partner's and another's. With smoke and a confirmation of instant death by an actor in the guise of a police officer, the Russian despaired - until the farce was revealed and the hitherto hidden fiancé made the request, which was promptly accepted.

Is that you? Would you like to accept such a radical marriage proposal?
