A man's marriage proposal was ruined by a runaway boat that sent him tumbling into water. A video of the proposal gone wrong was shared on Twitter by Theo Shantonas, where it has gone viral with thousands of views and puzzled comments.
In the video, the unnamed man can be seen standing on one boat, while his fiancee-to-be stands on another. The scene was presumably filmed by someone standing on the deck. The man brings the two boats together and stands on the edge of one as he fishes out a ring and pops the big question. His partner, smiling broadly, appears to say yes, and the two reach out to embrace.
Things, however, take an unlucky turn when the woman accidentally hits her boat's controls, sending it flying forward. As she lurches forward, shocked by the sudden movement, her leg hit the man in the face and sent him falling into the water.
Luckily, the two were not injured.

Others speculated that the person recording the whole incident also got knocked down as the boat hit the deck.
Mr Shantonas, who shared the video on the microblogging platform, said that he spoke to the man in the video. "I have spoken to the man in the video & am very upset to hear that they have had a lot of negative comments about it," he wrote. "Thankfully everyone is okay & she said YES!"
