In a video making waves on social media, the young man decided to pop the question in a strange yet romantic way, taking his lover from an initial state of panic to an unforgettable moment.
The scene all started when the couple's vehicle was stopped on the road by two police officers. The officers, in on the plan, told the boyfriend to exit his car and follow them to a nearby police vehicle, where he would be 'arrested'.
The friend, who was also in on the plan and recording the moment, told the American lady to get out of the vehicle and plead with the police officers.
Confused and startled, the woman quickly followed, questioning the sudden arrest of her boyfriend. The police, maintaining their ruse, explained that her lover was arrested because of some criminal activities.
Their accusation left her feeling agitated and increasingly concerned about what was happening.

Amid the tense back-and-forth and the woman’s plea for clarity, the boyfriend, playing along, was led to the police vehicle in handcuffs.
After a few moments, he suddenly came out of the vehicle, went on one knee with a sparkling engagement ring in hand.
The woman, initially shocked and unsure of what was happening, smiled in disbelief, covering her face as the boyfriend popped the big question.
Overcome with emotion, they hugged, bringing the staged incident to a close with smiles and laughter from all parties involved.
