Icon402 Man faked his own death to propose

"We'd arranged to meet at a certain place but when I arrived there were mangled cars everywhere, ambulances, smoke, and carnage," said Miss Kolokov.

"Then when I saw Alexy covered in blood lying in the road a paramedic told me he was dead and I just broke down in tears.".

Well, that sounds like the start of a long, healthy marriage built on trust...

Different strokes for different strokes and all, but yikes.

Something majorly shocking that she'll never forget does not automatically mean it is romantic and good.

What a lucky lady. She knows now to run away before they even get close to a wedding date.

Luckily for Mr Bykov, she eventually saw the joke, said yes - and the couple were married last week.

This reminds me of that glurge where the girl asks the guy if he loves her and wants to be with her, and he callously answers no to all her questions. Then, when she turns away crying, he gives her the punchlines. "I don't want you, I NEED you. I won't miss you, I'd die without you!" etc. As if that was supposed to make her go "Awwww!" and forgive him.

If you love someone, fake your own death.
If they laugh it off and agree to marry you, they'll be yours forever.
If they dump your sick, manipulative ass, it was never meant to be.

How adorable. Emotional abuse.

At least now he knows she's so receptive to manipulation that he can do just about any psychopathic thing his little heart desires, and she won't leave. It's a very important quality in anyone unlucky enough to marry this POS.
