I see this and wonder what the story is. What makes someone propose to a person who is not going to say yes? What makes someone do it as a stunt like that? How much courage does it take for the proposed to say 'no'? What happens to these two people?
This kind of thing would make a great movie. Done well it could be like a good Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie.
Ordinarily I would say he got what he deserved because I hate those stunt. But I actually felt bad for this guy. Yikes.
