A proposal at the McDonald's of their first date — and an unexpected answer

A young man from California decided to propose where their first date had been two years earlier: at a McDonald's drive-thru. His girlfriend had joked for months that he would probably propose in a box of chicken nuggets.

He arranged it with her father and the restaurant staff, and the ring arrived on top of a chicken sandwich. At the big moment she replied: 'I can't marry you. You just asked me on a bun.'

They didn't break up — they decided to wait a little longer to get engaged. The video spread online as a reminder that an inside joke isn't always the best script for the big question.
