If someone proposed marriage to me in the following way, I think I would want to kill him, not marry him.  Wait until you read this true story.

Alexey Bykov, 30 years old and from Omsk, Russia went to a lot of trouble to fake his own death for a wedding proposal.  He must have thought that his girlfriend wouldn't say yes so he hired a movie director, stuntmen, and make-up artists to stage a car crash.

He then arranged to meet girlfriend Irena Kolokov at the crash site. When she arrived, there were mangled cars everywhere, ambulances, smoke, and general mayhem.  When she saw Alexy covered in blood lying in the road, a paramedic told her he was dead. She broke down in tears.

Just then, Mr. Bykov jumped to his feet and proposed to Irena still covered in fake blood. Kolokov said she was so angry she almost killed him again, but eventually she saw the joke (are you kidding me?!) and the couple were married last week.

Bykov said, "I wanted her to realize how empty her life would be without me and how life would have no meaning without me."

I give that marriage one year.  What do you think?
