WOW. This is certainly...elaborate. Unbelievable.

"Irena Kolokov was caught off guard when she turned up to meet her boyfriend, Alexey Bykov, 30, but found what appeared to be a horrific car accident when she arrived. [SNIP] "When I saw Alexey covered in blood lying in the road, a paramedic told me he was dead, and I just broke down in tears," she said.

Horrified, she walked away, sobbing. Meanwhile, Bykov emerged from the ambulance behind her, giggling and holding flowers and a single golden mylar balloon.

His face covered in fake blood and his head wrapped in gauze, Bykov ran up to his love, who was so distraught that when her boyfriend approached her she shoved him off while crying uncontrollably.

Even when the sparklers went off in the background, Kolokov still had no clue that she'd been had.

It took some close consoling before she was calm enough for Bykov to get down on bended knee and ask her to be his wife. Luckily for Bykov, once her nerves had settled, Kolokov saw the humor in the prank, and decided to say yes."

Ummm... How did he think that his girlfriend would feel thinking that he was dead? What a bizarre jumble of emotions all in a row. She deserves an apology from him!!!
 
Wow that's s bizarre. I am not sure what made him think that would be a good way to propose. To each their own, I suppose...
 
How in the world could she have said yes???
Why in the world would she want to spend her life with some one so cruel?

My thoughts exactly!
 
Wow, what a jerk.
 
Maybe they are both big-time prankers. It does say she saw the humor in it.

I also think it's incredibly cruel and there's no way I would say yes to a proposal like that.
 
I'd have punched him in the face and walked away. Ass.

Agreed!

How awful. That poor woman. I wonder how she'll react when she gets a phone call or visit in future to let her know of some horrifying event...
 
I think if someone did that to me, and then asked to marry me, I'd be, "I'll get back to you on that."
 
OK as the specialist in "Mysterious Russian Soul"... :D in general, there are two types of humor. One, sarcastic, very verbal, what I would call "British humor", with tons of word play and which I personally adore. A version of it, which I would call Jewish/Irish, where life adversity is met with sarcasm and laughter, and which helps survive, is typical for (some) Russians. But then, of course, there are practical jokers, and this guy is one of them, only in this case it crossed the border of sanity (or rather, idiocy). If he met his soul mate in this woman who also loves idiotic practical jokes, let them be happy... If I knew such people, I'd avoid them both. BTW, 80% of Russians probably would respond the same way I do. At least I hope so.
 
Twisted - and selfish, in the sense that the proposal is all about him and his "cleverness."

I'd take a pass too!
 
I read another version of this story a couple days ago. It mentioned that the man is very wealthy, so apparently, if you are wealthy you can act like a nutso and someone will still agree to marry you.
 
I read this on Gawker the other day. And I'm going to have to agree with the commenters who predict that he will eventually murder her. Because that's what sociopaths do...
 
Wow. Just what a woman dreams of. :rolleyes:
Bet he got her an ugly ring HE liked without consulting her too.
 
Oh my goodness! He's a keeper! If she doesn't want him anymore, I get dibs!
Yuck.
 
I'd give the jerk a real reason to get back in that ambulance!
 
Worst proposal ever.
 
I wonder what their wedding will be like. Or what prank he'll pull when his wife goes into labor.

+1

Totally tasteless, IMO.

Where is the love in that proposal? It escapes me....
 
:eek: What a terrible thing to do to someone. I can't believe she said yes.
 
What a moron!

Just had a thought. Maybe she should get that diamond checked in case he thought to follow up this prank with another by giving her a CZ. Ha, ha, ha... :rolleyes:
 
^^^^

:shock: Could you imagine....!!! Seriously not a funny prank, now that you're messin' with bling!! :nono:
 
:errrr:

YES!!! :lol:
 
I understand that it was a prank BUT as someone who is praying her own husband comes back home safely, I don't find find humour in this.... :angryfire:
 
I would have said YES, then put the big diamond on my hand (he's wealthy, after all)....and in 24 hours text him (yes, text) him that I've changed my mind, THEN keep the ring! Turn about's fair play, sucka! HA! :lol: :naughty:
 
….what the f*ck?! it makes me seriously wonder what the heck is wrong with people when they think this crap is romantic.

there's another guy on youtube that stood up at the top of a building, ready to propose, and "accidentally" falls over the ledge while his girlfriend FREAKS and runs over… to see that he landed on a big air cushion balloon thing. (I actually thought this thread was about this video)

and then there's the video of the guy who needed a guise to get away from his GF to get ready for a flashmob proposal. so he decides to stage a strange woman coming by, angry at him with his GF, and splash water on his shirt. His GF was bawling, thinking he cheated.

This crap is emotionally abusive. Shame on those paramedics for making light of a serious situation! And shame on her for being an idiot enough to say yes to a creep like that!
