In
what may very well be the worst wedding proposal in history, a Russian
man hired a whole film crew to stage a deadly car crash and see if the woman he
wanted to marry really loved him to death.
Most people already know, or at least think they know the person they want to marry truly loves them, before they pop the big question, but 30-year-old Alexey Bykov, from Omsk, Russia, wanted to make absolutely sure. Instead of taking the easy route, like making his girlfriend Irina take a lie detector test, he decided to fake his own gruesome death to see what her reaction would be. So the young Russian hired a movie director, stuntmen, make-up artists, and even a script writer to stage a car crash in which he lost his life. They made sure everything looked as realistic as possible, by using crashed cars, smoke, ambulances and carnage, so the poor girl didn’t for a minute think she was the victim of a very creepy prank.

Once all the details of his plan were
discussed with the film crew, Alexey arranged to meet Irina in a certain place,
only when she arrived she found mangled cars and her beloved’s body lying on
the road all covered in blood. A paramedic told her he was dead and she
immediately broke into tears. Once the “romantic” prankster got the reaction he
was waiting for, he got up from the pavement and proposed. You can imagine
Irina’s reaction, can’t you? Well, although she admits at first she “almost
killed him again, but for real this time”, in the end she accepted to be this
crazy man’s wife for the rest of her life.
Asked why he planned such a macabre
wedding proposal, Alexey Bykov said: ”I wanted her to realise how
empty her life would be without me and how life would have no meaning without
me.” Very romantic stuff, I must say. He did promise this was the last time he
pulled such a stunt.
