Man proposes to his girlfriend with a McDonald’s sandwich and she’s not happy about it

You know what they say: nothing screams romance like McDonald’s.

At least that might be what Michael Joseph thought when he asked his girlfriend to marry him via a crispy chicken sandwich.

In a video that Joseph posted to YouTube, he picks up his girlfriend, Ann, and drives her through a nearby McDonald’s drivethru.

Joseph, who claims that he’s “never been very good at making plans in advanced” on his YouTube, wrote that the two wound up having their very first date at that restaurant.

And so, proposing in the same place where he discovered he liked her is romantic… right?

Wrong – according to his girlfriend’s reaction.

“Will you marry me?” Joseph wishfully asks as his girlfriend opened the sandwich box that reveal a ring (the restaurant was in on it, according to Joseph).

“You can’t be serious,” Ann finally chokes out after a few stammers. “This is not what you do!”

Unfazed by the incredulous remark, Joseph takes the ring, sitting atop the chicken sandwich, and forces it onto her hand.

“Surprise,” he remarks.

On his YouTube, Joseph explained that his girlfriend had been joking for months he would probably end up proposing to her years down the line in a chicken nugget box. “So I thought she would love it when I surprised her this way.”

“She didn’t love it like the way I thought she would,” he admitted.

Instead, as shown in the video, she ended up hysterical and discontented.

Ann rejected his marriage proposal, but not because of the inclusion of McDonald’s. Instead, the two decided that they “should wait longer until it’s time to get engaged.”

But when the time comes, we’re hoping Joseph has put a little less fast food and a little more thought into his second proposal.
