A Georgia man said he was shocked when a YouTube video of his movie theater marriage proposal reached nearly 3 million views in only three days. Matt Still, 30, said he taped his May 7 proposal to Ginny Joiner, 26, and posted it online for friends and family who could not attend the event and he was surprised to find it had quickly become a viral hit, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday.
"We were extremely shocked by it," Still said of the video's popularity. The video, titled "Greatest Marriage Proposal Ever," depicts an unwitting Joiner entering a McDonough movie theater with her brother and viewing a short film created by Still in the place of previews. The video ends with Still emerging and presenting Joiner with a ring.
"He got me good," Joiner said of the surprise proposal. The couple said the video has gotten them interviews from as far away as Canada, Detroit and Philadelphia. They said they filmed an interview via the Internet for NBC's "Today" show Web site.
