Hilarious footage of a man using a "funeral wreath" to propose to his girlfriend because he believed it signified the "till death do us part" element of marriage, only to be slapped for his troubles.

The video, filmed in Chongqing last Thursday, shows the unlucky gentleman getting down on one knee and putting the ring on his girlfriend's finger, but then he asks a friend to pass him the funeral flowers and hands them over too.

The result - the man receives a slap from his girlfriend in front of the shocked crowd.
