    ‘Greatest Marriage Proposal Ever’ becomes a viral hit

    By Yahoo! Singapore | Yahoo! Newsroom – Mon, May 23, 2011

    All men take note: Matt Still has set the bar for the most romantic marriage proposal. This video uploaded on 16 May shows the film-loving romantic’s special trailer for his girlfriend and how he screened it in the cinema to pop the question. 

    Unsuspecting girlfriend Ginny Joiner sat down in the cinema with her brother to see the new ‘Fast Five’ movie and after a normal set of trailers, the special feature rolled. As the opening credits began, Ginny whispered to her brother, “This better be good.”


    In the trailer titled ‘Making the Movies Jealous’ Matt and Ginny’s father have hidden their faces off camera. Matt asks her father for a marriage blessing and then makes a quick dash to the cinema to make his proposal.   

    Viewers are able to Ginny’s live reaction as she slowly recognises the familiar faces appear on the big screen. She bursts into tears after she asks her brother, “Is that Matt and Dad?”     

    The video reaches a climax when Matt enters the cinema screen with an engagement ring in hand. Micheal Escobar, the trailer’s producer caught the moment Ginny accepts Matt’s proposal in person. The couple are then congratulated by family and friends who remained hidden throughout.

    Matt and Ginny’s proposal video now has become a huge web hit with over five million views since it was uploaded earlier this week. 

    Do you think this is the greatest marriage proposal ever?

      getting married is easy, staying married is more difficult, staying happily married for a lifetime should rank among the fine arts

        I never met such a guy before, not even half of his good adventure.... somehow nowadays most men are very ungenerous and selfish, they only think of themselve and calculative

      Wedding proposals are over rated. The true meaning of love is when you can stay married for 10 years and still be happy.

        Bec I know?

        I am married for > 10 years and she is still my beautiful soulmate.

        Most of my peers with romantic proposals or wedding ceremonies are now divorced or having fun with their China mistresses.

      I was moved to tears. I believe some men did not even treat their girlfriends well before marriage. Not to mention after. (definitely worse). This man has made the effort to go through such lengths. I think they are the kind that will still hold hands when their hairs turn grey. I always give such couple a second look. Wish them all the best!

      Why are so many of you guys so negative and feels like sour grapes of what you guys commented.

      So what if they divorce on fine day, does it matter? Its the moment that counts. If you think is just money and u dont freaking have it just work your A$$ off to get something for someone you truely LOVE.

      Are you guys saying that all your proposal will be boring n uninteresting? Then i feel so freaking sorry for you or your partner. Dont talk like lLOSERS!!!

      Well done MaTT!!!

      @#$%, are you all just jealous that you didnt do/get the above video? It is a happy day, so what if they divorce, still, the moment counts. Give positive comments can? Singaporeans, seriously, only negative, no positive, no wonder so gloomy, not a sunny anymore.

      This is maybe american sub-culture, to broadcast it in public. In my culture it is very personal between the one who propose and the one who recieve the proposal. We are supposed to think multi cultural, but what happend if she say NO?

      It doesn't matter how their marriage is gonna be like, It's what memories EACH phase brings. This clip caught me and brings me along his journey of having fun and making someone happy. If you're such a pessimist, don't bother commenting and getting low ratings..

      she nodded her head and the rest is history...

      I have seen many many styles of proposing marriages and I must say this is one of the nicest ones BUT the important thing is that the love he feels towards Ginny now stays as strong forever bcos too many unique marriage proposals and even weddings lasted less than 3 years.
      May each day in the week be a good day..
      May the lord always watch over you...
      And may all of your dreams turn to wishes...
      And may all of your wishes come true... Good night everybody!
