As per the video, a group of men holding fake guns approach the vehicle and try to force the occupants out.

Vanessa Moujalli, the bride-to-be, can be observed trying to reason with the mock kidnappers and telling one of her female companions that she does not wish to go with them.

"I'm not going with them ¡ª I told them I'll give them whatever they want," Moujalli said.

After being blindfolded, Moujalli was taken to an undisclosed location in the backseat of another vehicle.

When she arrived, she was escorted outside, and her blindfold was removed, revealing her boyfriend, Adam Rizk, waiting for her with a bouquet and an engagement ring.

Moujalli was visibly stunned as she accepted Rizk's proposal, with a live band nearby playing music.

Many TikTok users who commented on the video were perplexed by the unusual and 'frightening' proposal. "Nope. Single for the rest of my life," one person wrote. Others praised the proposal for being "different."

In an interview with Daily Mail Australia, Tahlia stated that Moujalli was genuinely delighted with the engagement.

"[Adam] always joked that he wanted to propose in a way to scare her, and my family joined in and made it possible when she was visiting family in Lebanon," Tahlia said.

"They always play pranks on each other, so it's just their relationship ... the overall planning took three months."

Vanessa Moujalli took to Facebook to share pictures from her dream proposal and expressed her happiness. Insider has contacted Tahlia for a statement regarding the proposal.

This year he had seen several unique and viral wedding proposals, including one in February where a boyfriend lost the ring in the sand during a beach proposal, and one in March, when a man rented a movie theater to recreate "Everything Everywhere All At Once" for his girlfriend's proposal.
