The man was later challenged by a woman in the video, suspected to be his girlfriend, after his earlier refusal to kneel.
At first, he stated that he wouldn’t kneel down for his girlfriend, stressing that he was not begging her at all.
After several back and forth moments, he eventually knelt before her as they proceeded with the proposal.
