Probably not, but certainly one of the funnier ones. You really have got to give this guy major brownie points for the sheer effort he went to for the love of his life
A romantic hires out a Bristol cinema to screen his spoof music video, featuring him mainly wearing pants, as part of an elaborate marriage proposal to his girlfriend.
Pete Simson, 26, told girlfriend Hannah McDonagh, 25, that they were going to watch an arty French film at the Watershed cinema in Bristol for her birthday last Friday.
Miss McDonagh was none the wiser as she sat alongside other cinema-goers, who were actually staff and customers roped in to the plan.
But after the lights came down and the usual adverts came on Miss McDonagh could not believe what she was seeing when Mr Simson came on the big screen in his pants miming the words to Daniel Bedingfield’s pop hit If You’re Not The One.
The five minute-long spoof shows Mr Simson in a variety of colourful pants writhing on a bed, looking wistfully over a cliff top and walking along a beach as he mimes to Bedingfield’s love ballad.
The video was filmed over three nights by Mr Simson’s housemate Liam Vowles on a hand-held camera, who then edited it together using a programme downloaded free from the internet.
After the special screening finished at the Watershed, a spotlight came on Mr Simson who got down on one knee and proposed to Miss McDonagh to a round of applause. [...]
“My film came up and Hannah just stared at the screen with her mouth wide open, she couldn’t fathom what was going on.
“When it was over the light above us came on and I got down on one knee.
“She managed to blubber out ‘yes’.”
Mr Simson said he wanted to come up with a proposal to express his wacky character. [...]
Miss McDonagh, a trainee lawyer, said: “I was pretty confused when Pete came up on the screen, I was baffled and looked around at everyone else but they were staring at the screen because they knew what was coming.
“There were a few titters and Pete kept telling me to keep watching.
“I never thought he would go to these lengths but it is typical of Pete, he likes to be in the spotlight.
“The film looked awesome, really professional on the big screen, and it was hilarious.
“Whether we’ll play it again at the wedding is to be confirmed, maybe a sequel.”
